Left-sided polycystic ovary syndrome

Left-sided polycystic ovary syndrome is easy for women to detect on their own. Because the main symptoms of left-sided polycystic ovary syndrome are menstrual disorders, difficulty in becoming pregnant and fertility, etc. The symptoms that appear on the surface are a lot of acne and the possible appearance of a lot of hair. Left-sided PCOS is not difficult to treat; it is more about the post-treatment care.

Polycystic ovary syndrome, abbreviated as PCOS, is one of the most common endocrine diseases in gynecology. People with this disease often come to the hospital for "irregular menstruation and infertility", and they are easily "recognized" by doctors in the crowd because they have some typical characteristics: fat, faces covered with "youthful acne", seem to have beards, look like "men", etc.

Therefore, the diagnosis of PCOS is not difficult. After excluding other causes of hyperandrogenism (such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia, Cushing's syndrome, etc.), the diagnosis can be made if two of the following three points are met: (1) infrequent ovulation or anovulation; (2) clinical manifestations of hyperandrogenism and/or hyperandrogenemia; (3) polycystic ovary changes: B-ultrasound shows that one or both ovaries have ≥12 follicles with a diameter of 2-9 mm and/or an ovarian volume ≥10 ml.

For women of childbearing age, the most troubling thing about PCOS is infertility. So how to treat this disease? There are roughly the following points:

(1) Adjusting lifestyle: Currently considered the primary and key treatment for PCOS.

Pay attention to diet control and try to eat less greasy fast food, such as: cola, fried chicken, sweets, etc. You can eat more vegetables, fruits and other foods high in dietary fiber.

Keep exercising and do more exercise. You can choose aerobic exercises, such as walking, jogging, skating, swimming, cycling, Tai Chi, fitness dancing, rhythmic gymnastics, etc. Combine some anaerobic exercises, such as running, weightlifting, throwing, high jump, long jump, tug of war, muscle strength training, etc.

(2) Regulate the menstrual cycle: Regularly and rationally use medications (estrogen-progesterone combined cycle therapy, progesterone second half cycle therapy, etc.).

(3) Lowering androgen levels: oral glucocorticoids, cyproterone acetate, spironolactone, etc.

(4) Improve insulin resistance: Most patients have insulin resistance and are commonly treated with oral metformin for a long time. It is not necessary to stop taking the drug during menstruation. It is best to stop taking the drug after pregnancy.
