Western medicine for polycystic ovary

In our lives, most women think that having polycystic ovary is equivalent to having a terminal illness, because there is no drug that can completely cure this disease, so some people will think about having a child while they are still young. At this time, most people will choose Chinese medicine to regulate their pregnancy. In fact, there are many Western medicines for the treatment of polycystic ovary. The following editor will introduce several Western medicines for the treatment of polycystic ovary.

The dangers of polycystic ovary

Menstrual disorders

Most patients with PCOS have short menstrual cycles, scanty menstrual flow, or even amenorrhea and dysfunctional uterine bleeding. Some patients also experience continuous menstrual bleeding. These symptoms of PCOS seriously affect the patients' normal lives. Patients generally experience irregular menstruation after menarche, and other symptoms appear one after another, posing hidden dangers to the patient's health.

Infertility

Women with polycystic ovary syndrome do not ovulate due to hormonal disorders or lack of basic ovarian function. In other words, ovulation dysfunction leads to long-term infertility, and even if they become pregnant, they are prone to miscarriage. It can directly destroy women’s normal fertility, leading to fertility difficulties or infertility.

Hairy

Excessive amounts of male hormones in the human body cause excessive hair growth. The main hairy areas are the upper lip, lower jaw, around the areola, the midline below the navel, above the pubic bone, around the anus, and the base of the thighs. The hair is very dense, thick, long, and dark in color. Because of racial differences, hirsutism in Asian women is not as easily seen as in American and European women. Sometimes hair loss and acne occur at the same time. This has a serious impact on the daily life of female patients.

Acne

Acne is more common on the face, such as the forehead, cheeks, etc., and may also occur on the chest, back, and shoulders. It initially manifests as blackheads, and if broken, it will form papules, pustules, nodules, cysts, scars, etc.

obesity

Clinically, about 50% of patients suffer from obesity, which often occurs during adolescence. The relationship between obesity and PCOS is very complicated. It may be related to the decrease in insulin sensitivity. Even after the male hormone drops to normal levels, the symptoms of obesity still exist.

Acanthosis nigricans

The occurrence of polycystic ovary syndrome can cause female patients to develop velvety, flaky hyperkeratosis and other lesions, resulting in symmetrical gray-brown pigmentation in the skin folds of the patient's neck, back, armpits, under the breasts, vulva, groin, etc., which can also cause harm to the patient's health.
