Patient's question:
I have never had children, and I went to the hospital for an ultrasound examination. The doctor said I have multiple follicles, but I don't know what the disease is. I want to know what the disease is?Doctor's answer:
Generally, during an ultrasound examination, having more than ten small follicles is considered a sign of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). PCOS is a complex endocrine disorder characterized by both reproductive dysfunction and abnormal glucose metabolism. Due to the synergistic dysfunction of multiple endocrine systems in the body, excessive androgen secretion occurs, leading to the condition. Symptoms include menstrual irregularities, amenorrhea, hirsutism, obesity, and it can easily cause ovulatory dysfunction, leading to infertility, with very serious consequences. It is recommended that patients seek treatment at a specialized hospital as early as possible.
