Patient's question:
When I was a child, my aunt wasn't very normal. I intermittently saw a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, and she often had delayed periods, sometimes with prolonged bleeding. The doctor suspected polycystic ovary syndrome, but all the blood hormone indicators were within the normal range, except for slightly elevated testosterone levels.Doctor's answer:
Hello! I have thoroughly reviewed your medical history.1. You used to have delayed menstruation and irregular bleeding. This is a sign of anovulation. Because there is no ovulation, the menstruation is delayed. Without ovulation, there is no progesterone secretion in the body, only estrogen. The endometrium does not shed completely, so the menstruation becomes irregular. Therefore, you can be diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
2. Patients with PCOS do not always fail to ovulate. Sometimes they do ovulate, but it is delayed and the timing is unpredictable. You mentioned that you have ovulated twice during monitoring, which is a good example. However, your husband was not present, which is really a pity. You should have had intercourse at that time.
3. Patients with PCOS often have delayed ovulation and are prone to luteal phase deficiency after ovulation. Therefore, your high-temperature phase is shorter than 14 days. For patients with PCOS, if they have intercourse three times after ovulation and a follow-up ultrasound shows that the follicle has been released, luteal support must be provided.
You must seek medical treatment at a regular hospital. The hospitals I know are:
Hebei Medical University Second Hospital
Shijiazhuang Fourth Hospital
People's Liberation Army Baiqiu International Peace Hospital
