Patient's question:
Hello, may I ask if I once had polycystic ovary syndrome and took medication for it? Later, I got pregnant. Does this mean that the polycystic ovary condition has been cured? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine disorder characterized by reproductive dysfunction and abnormal glucose metabolism. Due to the synergistic dysfunction of multiple endocrine systems, it leads to excessive androgen secretion, causing the condition. Symptoms include menstrual disorders, amenorrhea, hirsutism, obesity, and it can easily result in ovulatory dysfunction, leading to infertility with severe consequences. PCOS can be cured through proper treatment, but it should be approached correctly.Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that the internal cause of PCOS is the dysfunction of the Spleen, Kidney, and Liver, while the external cause is primarily the invasion of phlegm-dampness. These two factors mutually contribute to the blockage of the (uterus), leading to the condition. Treating PCOS hinges on addressing the Kidney. The TCM formula "Ziyin Huacang Fang" grasps the key to treating the Kidney, thereby fundamentally eliminating PCOS.
