Patient's question:
I have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). I have been married for four years without pregnancy. I have taken Dian 35 for three months and undergone ovulation induction for three months, but still haven't conceived. I am slightly overweight. Could you please tell me if I can undergo IVF in this situation, and what the success rate is?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) includes:1. General treatment: Active exercise should be performed, and the intake of high-fat, high-sugar foods should be reduced to lower body weight. This can help reduce androgen levels, which is beneficial for restoring ovulation.
2. Medication treatment: Medications can counteract the effects of androgens and promote ovulation. Generally, they are taken for about 3–6 months. Once hormone level tests return to normal, medication can be discontinued.
If the above two methods are not effective, laparoscopic surgery may need to be considered. Under laparoscopy, the surgeon punctures the follicles to reduce androgen levels, thereby achieving the treatment goal.
Patients usually regain ovulation and can become pregnant after symptom control. However, some patients may experience recurrence, requiring regular follow-up examinations. The longer PCOS persists, the more difficult it becomes to treat.
Advice: Hello, only by identifying the root cause can an effective personalized diagnostic and treatment plan be formulated. Precise examinations and targeted treatments are essential. It is recommended to visit a reputable and professional "technologically advanced" infertility hospital for detailed examinations to clarify the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment. Do not miss the best time for treatment. Additionally, maintain a positive mindset and avoid excessive anxiety. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
