Patient's question:
I really want a child with my husband. To get pregnant as soon as possible, I recently had an ovary monitoring test at the hospital. The result said that I don't ovulate and have ovulation dysfunction. Specific tests are needed to diagnose and treat the condition. But I'm very worried now, so I really want to know what are the dangers of ovulation dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can cause the following harms:1. Disrupts menstrual cycles: PCOS can lead to irregular periods, amenorrhea (absence of menstruation), and other menstrual issues. It may also cause symptoms like hirsutism (excessive hair growth) and obesity. It is crucial to seek timely treatment if these symptoms appear.
2. Causes infertility: Infertility is the most significant harm PCOS can bring to women, as childbearing is a fundamental duty for women. If a woman cannot conceive, it can be a severe blow. Therefore, infertility is the greatest harm PCOS can cause to women.
3. Increases cancer risk: If a woman’s ovaries fail to ovulate for a long time, hormonal metabolism becomes disrupted. The endometrium may grow excessively without the counteracting effects of progesterone, increasing the risk of endometrial cancer and breast cancer. This poses serious health risks to women and threatens their lives.
It is recommended to visit a reputable fertility and infertility specialist hospital for comprehensive examinations. The doctor will provide targeted treatment based on your condition. Wishing you early pregnancy and good health!
