How to treat polycystic ovary?

Polycystic ovary is a disease that many women suffer from. It has a great impact on women's physiological life. Some women become infertile after marriage because of polycystic ovary. Common symptoms of polycystic ovary in women are scanty menstruation and obesity. In recent years, with the development of technology, many people have begun to pay attention to the issue of how to treat polycystic ovary. Let us introduce it to you below.

1. Obesity and insulin resistance

Increase exercise to lose weight, correct endocrine and metabolic disorders aggravated by obesity, reduce insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia, reduce IGF-1, increase IGfBP-1, and at the same time increase SHBG to reduce free androgen levels.

2. Bilateral ovarian wedge resection

It is suitable for patients with elevated blood testosterone, enlarged bilateral ovaries, and normal DHEA and PRL (indicating that the main cause of the disease is in the ovaries). Partial ovarian removal to eliminate excess androgen production in the ovaries can correct the disorder of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis. However, the site of removal and the amount of tissue removed are related to the efficacy, and the effectiveness varies. The pregnancy rate is 50% to 60%. The postoperative recurrence rate is high, and if pelvic adhesions occur, it will be detrimental to pregnancy. Laparoscopic ovarian cauterization or resection can also achieve certain results.

3. Treatment of hirsutism

You can cut the hair regularly or apply "hair loss agents" but avoid pulling it out to prevent stimulating excessive growth of hair follicles. You can also use electrolysis treatment or androgen-inhibiting drugs.

4. Artificial menstrual cycle

For patients who do not have hirsutism and do not desire to have children, progesterone can be given for artificial cycle treatment to avoid excessive proliferation and cancer of the endometrium.

In fact, to put it simply, polycystic ovary is inseparable from our own diet. People who like to eat high-calorie and high-cholesterol foods such as cream, fatty meat, animal liver, etc. are more likely to suffer from polycystic ovary. Therefore, this requires us to eat more light foods in daily life and avoid eating foods with high fat content.
