Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a multifactorial disease and a polymorphic clinical endocrine syndrome, characterized mainly by hyperandrogenism and chronic anovulation. It is one of the most common causes of menstrual irregularities in women of reproductive age and is also a cause of female infertility.

Women often desire to have children and upon discovering they have polycystic ovary syndrome, they may use ovulation-inducing drugs under the advice of a doctor. Ovulation-inducing drugs can help develop dominant follicles.

If you have tried a wide range of Western medicines with limited success, you can also consider using traditional Chinese patent medicine or herbs under a doctor’s prescription to further cultivate dominant follicles. Because the development of dominant follicles requires expertise, it must be conducted under the direction and advice of professional medical practitioners. If you have further questions, it is advisable to consult a doctor at a hospital for more detailed information.

Is the chance of getting pregnant with polycystic ovary syndrome high?

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) manifests as absent or irregular menstrual periods, and is also associated with obesity, hirsutism, insulin metabolism disorders, as well as elevated blood sugar and cholesterol levels. The mechanism behind the development of PCOS is unclear but may be related to genetic factors, diet, and lack of exercise. Due to the irregular menstrual cycles, which stem from anovulation (lack of ovulation), the likelihood of pregnancy decreases. It is challenging to calculate the specific probability of pregnancy, but overall, the chances of becoming pregnant with PCOS are very low, although there is still a possibility. Treatment for PCOS generally starts with lifestyle changes, such as avoiding staying up late and refraining from eating sweets. Weight management is also crucial; weight gain is recommended for those who are underweight, whereas weight loss is advised for those who are overweight, along with appropriate exercise.

What should I eat to manage polycystic ovary syndrome?

Polycystic ovary syndrome is a lifelong disease that cannot be cured, and it is a metabolic disease, which makes it easy to develop diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. Therefore, it is essential to maintain a light diet, eat more fruits and vegetables to regulate the body, avoid greasy foods, exercise regularly, and keep the body within the normal range. By doing so, people with this syndrome can live like everyone else. However, if a person with polycystic ovary syndrome goes more than two months without menstruation, they must be treated with progesterone, primarily to prevent endometrial cancer.

Dietary Taboos for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by menstrual disorders, amenorrhea, infertility, obesity, acne, and hirsutism. The majority of patients with PCOS also exhibit high blood glucose and hyperinsulinemia. Therefore, it is crucial to pay attention to diet once these conditions occur. Foods high in fat and calories should be avoided as they can lead to weight gain and exacerbate the condition. Generally, it is advisable to consume a light diet, with plenty of vegetables and fruits, and to include beans and soy products. As patients with PCOS typically have high testosterone levels, consuming beans, which contain estrogen, can help replenish estrogen in the body and combat testosterone and other androgens. Thus, dietary considerations are essential for patients with PCOS.

The difference between polycystic and polycystic ovary syndrome

Some women may discover they have polycystic ovaries during occasional gynecological exams. If their menstrual cycle is regular, with good ovulation, and does not affect pregnancy, then it is just a polycystic ovarian state, not called polycystic ovary syndrome. Polycystic ovary syndrome primarily involves irregular menstruation, poor ovulation, and difficulty in becoming pregnant. The condition of polycystic ovary syndrome varies greatly among individuals; some show clear signs of high androgens or have laboratory tests indicating high androgen levels, and many people experience a significant increase in luteinizing hormone, among other symptoms. Therefore, these are two different conditions.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is what matter?

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a type of gynecological endocrine disorder. Its clinical manifestations include amenorrhea, obesity, infertility, acne, and hirsutism. A key characteristic of the disease is anovulation which affects fertility. Therefore, the general diagnostic procedure for patients with suspected PCOS begins with an ultrasound at a hospital. If the ultrasound suggests PCOS, it is necessary to have a blood test for sex hormone levels on an empty stomach during the 2nd to 5th day of the menstrual cycle. Diagnosis is generally determined through a combination of sex hormone tests and ultrasound examinations, which can confirm whether one has PCOS. The causes of PCOS are generally attributed to staying up late, dieting, high stress, irregular lifestyle, indiscriminate use of contraceptives and diet pills, obesity, and patients with other endocrine disorders. Since PCOS affects fertility and is difficult to treat, patients diagnosed with this condition must seek treatment in hospital endocrinology departments or specialized gynecology departments.
