Hello! Which is the best hospital for treating polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)? Currently, drug therapy has replaced surgical treatment as the first-line approach for PCOS, with the primary goal of treatment being related to the patient's fertility needs. The treatment of PCOS patients has always been a challenging issue in clinical practice. The earliest effective treatment was reported by Stein and Leventhal in 1935, which was bilateral ovarian wedge resection (BOWR). This method pioneered the era of surgical treatment for infertility. Surgical treatment can reduce the number of granulosa cells in the ovaries, decrease androgen production by ovarian stroma, thereby lowering circulating androgen levels. This, in turn, reduces GnRH levels, leading to further decreases in serum androgen concentrations, which also indicates that ovarian stroma is regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis. Due to the reduced androgen levels, most patients can resume spontaneous ovulation and menstruation after surgery, with some achieving natural pregnancy. However, most pregnancies occur around 6 months post-surgery. Which is the best hospital for treating polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)? It is recommended to seek treatment at a regular hospital. Wishing you good health!
