Patient's question:
Polycystic ovary syndrome, my stomach hurts and I can't do heavy labor. Recently, I've been very sleepy. I used to be diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome, but when I went for a check-up recently, it was no longer there. However, my stomach still hurts.Doctor's answer:
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder. Its key characteristics include persistent anovulation, immature multiple follicles, hyperandrogenism, and insulin resistance, making it the most common cause of menstrual disorders. Both Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Western medicine have shown effectiveness in treating PCOS. The key to treatment lies in identifying the underlying causes of PCOS and assessing the individual's constitutional condition to achieve targeted regulation, thereby addressing both the symptoms and the root of the problem.
