Patient's question:
What should I do if I have polycystic ovary syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Patients with polycystic ovary syndrome should actively engage in exercise, reduce the intake of high-fat, high-sugar foods, and lower their weight. This can help lower androgen levels, which is beneficial for restoring ovulation. Medication can counteract the effects of androgens and promote ovulation. The primary medication used is oral contraceptives, which can also regulate the menstrual cycle. Generally, after taking the medication for about one month and normalizing hormone levels through testing, the medication can be discontinued. If these two methods are not effective, laparoscopic surgery should be considered. During laparoscopic surgery, the follicles are punctured to lower androgen levels, thereby achieving the treatment goal.
