Patient's question:
I feel puzzled that I could be diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome. Isn't this something that's checked during childbirth? I'm still a virgin, so how could I get polycystic ovary syndrome? I'd like to ask, what is the reason for a virgin getting polycystic ovary syndrome?Doctor's answer:
With menstrual disorders, amenorrhea, anovulation, hirsutism, obesity, and infertility combined with bilateral ovarian enlargement presenting as cystic changes, it is called Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). The clinical manifestations of PCOS vary in severity and are most common in women of reproductive age between 20 and 40 years old. Typical symptoms include menstrual irregularities, hirsutism, and obesity.
