Patient's question:
. Pregnant in October 2013, in January 2014 the prenatal check-up revealed a neural tube defect (anencephalus), so I had an induced abortion at our county maternal and child health hospital. After the surgery, I found I hadn't had a period for two months. The doctors at the county maternal and child health hospital said it was polycystic ovary syndrome and prescribed me to take Dian 35 for three months, then to see the situation.Doctor's answer:
Increase exercise to reduce weight, correct endocrine and metabolic disorders exacerbated by obesity, reduce insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia, lower IGF-1, increase IGfBP-1, and simultaneously increase SHBG to reduce free androgen levels. Weight loss can restore ovulation in some obese women with PCOS and prevent the occurrence of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Metformin treatment can be used for both diabetics and non-diabetics, effectively reducing weight, improving insulin sensitivity, lowering insulin levels, reducing hair growth, and even restoring menstruation (25%) and ovulation. Since obesity and insulin resistance are the main causes of PCOS, any drug that can reduce weight and increase insulin sensitivity can treat this syndrome.
