Patient's question:
I have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). Before treatment, my periods were irregular, but I could still have them every two months on my own. After treatment, they became worse. I haven't been to the hospital since 2007 until last December. Every three months when my period doesn't come, I take progesterone. Now I don't want to take progesterone anymore, but my period still hasn't arrived. My six tests are not good, and I also have a problem with one of my fallopian tubes, along with adnexitis. I want to see a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) doctor, mainly because I want to have a child. From which aspect should I start? Can TCM treatment help with this condition? Hormones have caused a lot of harm to my body. Now that my period isn't coming, should I continue taking progesterone and wait for it to bleed before seeing a TCM doctor, or can I see the TCM doctor now while I'm in a state of amenorrhea? I'm in a hurry. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Your question is very complex. Especially, polycystic ovary syndrome affects ovulation, leading to infertility. Moreover, the treatment effect is poor. It is recommended that you undergo laparoscopic surgery to examine the condition of your fallopian tubes. At the same time, you can also have ovarian drilling, which helps with ovulation.
