And talked about the landlord's greatest concern:
Can polycystic ovary syndrome lead to infertility?
How to treat polycystic ovary syndrome
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disease. The ovary is enlarged and contains many fluid-filled cysts, and the androgen level is increased, so it is impossible to ovulate. The main symptom of the patient is menstrual disorder, which is generally rare menstruation, and the amount of menstruation gradually decreases to amenorrhea. Because the androgen level is too high to ovulate, the patient may be infertile. In addition, patients will have hairy, prone to acne, greasy skin, obesity and other manifestations. B-ultrasound examination will find that the ovary is 2-3 times larger than normal, and these typical symptoms often appear in adolescence.
In terms of treatment, we need to start from the following three aspects:
1, general treatment. Patients should actively exercise, reduce the intake of high-fat and high-sugar foods and lose weight. This can promote the decline of androgen level and facilitate the recovery of ovulation.
2. medication. Drug therapy can counteract the effect of androgen and promote ovarian ovulation. The drugs used are mainly oral contraceptives, which can also regulate the menstrual cycle. Generally, you can take it for about 3-6 months, and you can stop taking it after the hormone level is normal.
3. Laparoscopic surgery. If the above two methods fail, we need to consider laparoscopic surgery. Under laparoscopy, the level of androgen can be reduced by puncture of follicles, so as to achieve the therapeutic purpose.
According to clinical experience, after the symptoms are controlled, patients can generally resume ovulation and get pregnant. However, some patients will relapse and need to go to the hospital regularly. It should be pointed out that the longer PCOS lasts, the more difficult it is to treat. Therefore, once the symptoms appear, you should go to the hospital in time to avoid delaying your illness.
