How to classify polycystic ovary syndrome into mild and severe

For these pregnant women, polycystic ovary is a relatively common disease. This disease is closely related to endocrine, and the occurrence of the disease is mostly due to excessive androgen in the body. This disease can also cause female infertility, so female friends should pay enough attention to it. How do we distinguish whether polycystic ovary is mild, moderate or severe?

The severity of polycystic ovary syndrome can be identified from the symptoms, clinical features, and changes in polycystic ovaries under B-ultrasound. It can also be identified based on the degree of menstrual disorders, such as infrequent menstruation or amenorrhea, the severity of the manifestations of hyperandrogenism, whether there is insulin resistance, and the degree of polycystic ovary changes under B-ultrasound.

In mild PCOS, the menstrual cycle is generally 40-50 days, and the hair growth is not noticeable. In more severe PCOS, the menstrual period is from three months to more than half a year, with symptoms of infrequent hair growth, or even amenorrhea; the patient has more severe hair growth, acanthosis nigricans, obesity, and the number of ovaries in a cross-section under B-ultrasound is more than 20. In mild cases, the uterus and ovaries can ovulate spontaneously; in more severe cases. Infertility caused by lack of ovulation in the uterus and ovaries.

Patients with polycystic ovary syndrome should first improve their bad living habits, strengthen their physical fitness, control their weight, and have a regular work and rest schedule to regulate their endocrine system. Obese people should actively lose weight, reduce their insulin and testosterone levels, and then take estrogen for emergency contraception treatment to regulate their menstrual cycle.

Patients with polycystic ovary syndrome can be cured by adjusting their lifestyle and losing weight. Only very rare recurrent cases require medical intervention. There are two treatments for polycystic ovary syndrome, one is medication and the other is surgery.

Drug treatment is ovulation-inducing treatment, and methods include effective dietary management to improve glargine insulin resistance and drugs to counteract androgen-induced ovulation. The drugs used are mainly contraceptives, which can also regulate the menstrual cycle. Generally, it takes about 3-6 months to take the medicine, and you can stop taking the medicine after the growth hormone level test is normal.

Surgical treatment: laparoscopic uterine and ovarian treatment. Under laparoscopic surgery, the eggs are surgically punctured to reduce the level of male hormones, thereby achieving the treatment goal. It can counteract the effect of androgen and promote ovulation of the uterus and ovaries.

Treatment methods for different ages have different characteristics. During adolescence, Chinese medicine is used to regulate neurological and endocrine imbalances, regulate the menstrual cycle, and cooperate with anti-androgen Chinese medicine preparations or emergency contraception when necessary. During childbearing age, Chinese medicine is used to regulate the ovaries, and cooperate with drugs to promote ovulation and pregnancy; for those who are already pregnant, Chinese medicine is used to regulate the ovaries and enhance the dominance of neuroendocrine metabolism. The treatment course of traditional Chinese and Western medicine for PCOS is short, targeted, and easy for patients to accept. The treatment also includes the effect of overall adjustment, and the effect is significantly better than single drug or surgical treatment.
