At present, it is believed that the uterus and ovaries produce too much male hormone, and the excess of male hormone is the result of abnormal synergistic effects of various endocrine functions in the body. The purpose of treatment is mainly to establish a normal physiological cycle with ovulation, restore reproductive function, and eliminate excess hair. Once a normal menstrual cycle is established, pregnancy can be achieved, the uterus and ovaries no longer produce excessive male hormones, and the symptoms will gradually subside.

The patient's ovaries will be enlarged and contain multiple small eggs. Even if ovulation occurs, ovulation disorders or sphingomyelinating cysts and thick ovarian walls may occur, which are related to pancreatic insufficiency. Immune substances may appear around the patient's ovaries, affecting the maturity or discharge of eggs.

If androgen is high, use Marvelon or Diane 35 for 1-3 months. Using ovulation-inducing drugs later is more effective than using ovulation-inducing drugs immediately. 3. Metformin. If you are obese, you should test glargine insulin. When the level of glargine insulin rises, use metformin to lower it. 4. Treatment to promote ovulation. After the above three basic treatments, choose ovulation-inducing treatment. There are many ovulation-inducing drugs now, and the preferred drug is clomiphene. 5.
