How should Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) be treated?

Patient's question:

Irregular menstruation, the medicine works, no medicine no effect. The doctor said it's polycystic ovary syndrome. It's been over a year.

Doctor's answer:

Hello: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is caused by dysfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, disrupting the interdependent relationships and regulation between these components, leading to prolonged anovulation in the ovaries. The typical clinical manifestations of PCOS include menstrual disorders due to anovulation, such as amenorrhea, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, oligomenorrhea, or anovulatory cycles, often accompanied by hirsutism, obesity, infertility, bilateral ovarian enlargement or unilateral ovarian growth, as well as changes in hormone levels. There are two main treatment methods for PCOS: medication and surgery. Medication treatment is generally not very ideal. It is necessary to go to the hospital to clarify the severity of the condition and develop a suitable and effective regulation plan. Wish you health!
