Patient's question:
I have polycystic ovary syndrome. I got a checkup order for six items from you, but my period hasn't come for two months, and I haven't been able to come for the checkup. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine and metabolic disorder commonly found in women of reproductive age. It is characterized by chronic anovulation (disruption or loss of ovulation function) and hyperandrogenism (excess production of male hormones in women). The main clinical manifestations include irregular menstrual cycles, infertility, hirsutism and/or acne, making it the most common endocrine disorder in women.
