Patient's question:
Hello: What are the symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome? I suspect it might be PCOS, and I'm a bit overweight now. I'm very scared. What are the symptoms of PCOS?Doctor's answer:
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by menstrual disorders, amenorrhea, anovulation, hirsutism, obesity, infertility, and bilateral ovarian enlargement with cystic changes, which are collectively referred to as polycystic ovary syndrome. Medication treatment is recommended. Medication can counteract the effects of androgens and promote ovulation. The main drugs used are oral contraceptives, which can also regulate the menstrual cycle. Generally, the medication is taken for about 3-6 months, and the medication can be stopped after normal hormone level tests. Laparoscopic surgery can also be considered for treatment. Under laparoscopy, the surgeon punctures the follicles.
