Patient's question:
Suffering from Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), got married and had children. Don't know the cause of this disease, what is the cause of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome?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 diabetic and non-diabetic individuals, effectively reducing weight, improving insulin sensitivity, lowering insulin levels, and even reducing hair growth or 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.
