Patient's question:
Does Polycystic Ovary Syndrome cause irregular menstruation? Is it effective to take traditional Chinese medicine?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is caused by dysfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, disrupting the interdependent relationships and regulation, leading to prolonged anovulation in the ovaries. The typical clinical manifestations of PCOS 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. There are two treatment methods for PCOS: medication and surgery. Medication treatment is generally not very ideal. Your condition can be treated using advanced microscopic surgery for PCOS without surgery, which is non-invasive, has a quick recovery time, and a high success rate. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a thorough examination to determine the current function of your ovaries and receive targeted treatment. Do not miss the best age for pregnancy. Wishing you good health!
