Hello: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is caused by dysfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, disrupting the interdependent relationships and regulation between these components, 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 enlargement, as well as changes in hormone levels. There are two treatment methods for PCOS: medication and surgery. Generally, medication is not very effective. It is recommended that you visit a specialized hospital for a detailed examination, to obtain a clear diagnosis and receive symptomatic treatment, and do not miss the best time for treatment. Wishing you good health!
