What is primary polycystic ovary syndrome

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

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 main treatment methods for PCOS: medication and surgery. Generally, medication is not very effective. Wishing you good health.
