Patient's question:
In June 2012, my period didn't come, and I went to Jiading Central Hospital for treatment. I took progesterone, and on the second day of my period, I had a test for the six sex hormones, where both PROG and TESTO were high. The doctor prescribed me to take Dian-35 for six months. When I had another test, prolactin was found to be high. I also had an MRI of the pituitary gland, which showed no issues. Now, I have been taking bromocriptine for over 20 days, but my period still hasn't come. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is caused by endocrine disorders. It is recommended to undergo an ultrasound and a six-item sex hormone test. If the results show bilateral ovaries in a polycystic state and an LH/FSH ratio greater than 3, a diagnosis of PCOS can be made. It is necessary to take Dian 35 to regulate the endocrine system and treat it with traditional Chinese medicine. Treatment should continue until the endocrine system returns to normal before pregnancy is considered appropriate.
