What are the good treatments for polycystic ovary syndrome?

Patient's question:

Amenorrhea, hair loss, weight gain, infertility

Doctor's answer:

Hello:
The treatment of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) includes:
1. General Treatment: It is important to actively engage in exercise, reduce the intake of high-fat and high-sugar foods, and lower body weight. This can help decrease androgen levels, which is beneficial for restoring ovulation.
2. Medication Treatment: Medications can counteract the effects of androgens and promote ovulation. Typically, they are taken for about 3-6 months. Once hormone level tests return to normal, the medication can be discontinued.
If the above two methods are not effective, laparoscopic surgical treatment may need to be considered.
