Patient's question:
Only came once, came to the hospital to get a shot. At first, I thought it was a minor issue and didn't pay much attention. Later, when I turned 18, I could take medication to regulate my period. If I took it, it would come, and if I didn't, it wouldn't. Later, when I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The doctor prescribed Diane-35 for me. I took it for half a year.```When I was taking the medication, everything was normal, but now that I'm not taking it, it doesn't come anymore. What should I do?Past Treatment and Effect: It was normal when I was taking the medication, but it doesn't come when I'm not.
Help Needed: I've been married for 4 years and have always wanted a baby.
Doctor's answer:
The hazards of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) include the following:Affecting women's appearance: The onset of PCOS can lead to hirsutism and obesity in women, and some may also experience acne. The reason for these conditions is that PCOS can cause an increase in androgen secretion in women. Additionally, it may lead to bacterial infections, which can impact women's health.
Irregular menstruation: Abnormalities in the ovaries can result in menstrual disorders in women. PCOS patients are prone to experiencing infrequent periods and amenorrhea. Many patients also have the issue of continuous, light bleeding. Therefore, if menstrual irregularities occur, it should be taken seriously.
