Patient's question:
What causes polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)? Now that I have this condition, what should I do? After getting this disease, what can and cannot be eaten?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. It is recommended that detailed regulation is necessary regardless of current fertility needs, as it not only helps maintain normal menstrual cycles but also facilitates better conception in the future.
