What causes polycystic ovary syndrome?

Patient's question:

Checked the hormones, the doctor said I have PCOS, ovulation is not good what causes PCOS

Doctor's answer:

1. Hyperprolactinemia can lead to polycystic ovary syndrome. According to surveys, approximately 20% to 30% of polycystic ovary patients have hyperprolactinemia. Prolactin is a sex hormone that can stimulate adrenal cortex cells to secrete excessive androgens, thereby leading to polycystic ovary syndrome.
2. Genetic factors Polycystic ovary is a disease caused by autosomal dominant inheritance or gene mutation. Some patients develop polycystic ovary due to genetic factors.
3. Adrenal gland dysfunction Abnormal adrenal gland function can affect the relationship and secretion abnormalities between the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and ovarian axis, leading to excessive secretion of androgens. This increase in androgens results in the onset of the disease.
