Patient's question:
I have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), how can I be treated to get pregnant? I have been infertile for two years, and my husband and I have had a check-up at our local hospital. The results showed that the problem was with me, PCOS. I really want to have a child of my own now. Could you please ask the doctor how to treat PCOS to get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
General treatment. Patients should actively exercise, reduce the intake of high-fat, high-sugar foods, and lose weight. This can help lower androgen levels, which is beneficial for restoring ovulation.2. Medication treatment. Medication can counteract the effects of androgens and promote ovulation. The primary drugs used are oral contraceptives, which can also regulate the menstrual cycle. Generally, the medication is taken for 3-6 months. Once hormone levels return to normal after testing, the medication can be discontinued.
3. Laparoscopic surgical treatment. If the above two methods are ineffective, laparoscopic surgery may be considered. Under laparoscopy, the surgeon punctures the follicles to lower androgen levels, thereby achieving the treatment goal. Based on clinical experience, patients usually regain ovulation and can become pregnant after symptom control. However, some patients may experience recurrence, requiring regular follow-up examinations at the hospital. For your current condition, it is recommended to adopt targeted treatment under the guidance of your attending physician.
