Patient's question:
NoDoctor'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 decrease androgen levels, which is beneficial for restoring ovulation. 2. Medication treatment: Medications can counteract the effects of androgens and promote ovulation. Generally, the medication is taken for about 3-6 months. After normal hormone level tests, the medication can be stopped. 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 recover ovulation after symptom control, allowing for pregnancy. However, some patients may experience recurrence, requiring regular follow-up examinations at the hospital. The longer PCOS persists, the harder it becomes to treat. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
