Patient's question:
At the age of eighteen, I developed polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). I endured two years of Western medicine hormone treatment, which could only regulate my menstrual cycle but not cure it. However, the hormone medication was too harmful to my body. Now, I am adopting pure traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment, but after only one month of medication, the doctor said the first month was to withdraw the harm caused by the previous hormone medication. But isn't the best method a combination of TCM and Western medicine? After all, Western medicine has indeed helped me regulate my menstrual cycle. Is this TCM fake? How should I be treated?Doctor's answer:
As for the situation you mentioned, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), it is itself a disease that is not easy to treat. Therefore, you need to be mentally prepared. The treatment is not a matter of one or two days, nor is it a matter of half a month or two months. The treatment typically lasts at least one year or more. The integrated treatment of Chinese and Western medicine is quite effective. I suggest you seek treatment at a regular hospital with a level of three or higher. The above is my advice on this issue. I hope it will be helpful to you. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
