Patient's question:
I am 35 years old. I have polycystic ovary syndrome. After taking birth control pills for six months, I was tested and found to have hyperprolactinemia of the pituitary gland. Before taking the medication, the prolactin level in my pituitary gland was normal. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
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 this condition 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. Based on your description, it appears that the condition was not well-controlled after treatment. In Foshan, Zhancheng, do you know Zhongshan Hospital? My colleague had similar issues in the past but was cured there. You might want to look into it.
