Patient's question:
I have polycystic ovary syndrome, with 9-10 follicles on each side. My current menstrual cycle is 45 days, and the duration of menstruation is 7 days.Doctor's answer:
Hello: The treatment of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) includes:1. General Treatment: It is important to actively engage in exercise, reduce the intake of high-fat and high-sugar foods, and lower body weight. This can help decrease androgen levels, which is beneficial for restoring ovulation.
2. Medication: Medication can counteract the effects of androgens and promote ovulation. Typically, it is taken for about 3-6 months. Once hormone levels return to normal, medication can be discontinued.
If the above methods are not effective, laparoscopic surgery may need to be considered. Under laparoscopy, the surgeon punctures the follicles to reduce androgen levels, thereby achieving the therapeutic goal. Most patients can restore ovulation and become pregnant after symptoms are controlled. However, some patients may experience recurrence, requiring regular follow-up examinations.
The longer PCOS persists, the more difficult it becomes to treat. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
