Patient's question:
I started trying to conceive at the age of 24 and failed for two years. Because I didn't feel any discomfort in my body, I always thought I could get pregnant. However, in the beginning of the year, I went to the hospital for a check-up and found out that I have polycystic ovary syndrome. The doctor said this condition can lead to infertility.Doctor's answer:
Hello! In the past, Western medicine believed that PCOS could not be cured and that there were no specific drugs for it. However, from a medical perspective, this view is actually incorrect. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) considers PCOS to fall under categories such as "delayed menstruation," "amenorrhea," and "infertility." It is associated with factors like insufficient kidney qi, qi and blood deficiency, disharmony of the (Chong Ren) channels, liver qi stagnation, and spleen deficiency with phlegm-dampness. Clinical experience in TCM treatment is that the goal is not just to regulate menstruation on a monthly basis, but to ensure proper follicular development, the presence of dominant follicles, and ultimately help patients become pregnant.
