What is the cause of bilateral polycystic ovaries?

Many women do not understand bilateral polycystic ovaries. In fact, these problems are related to many factors. For example, women who are too obese or have this gene in their family may be affected and threatened by this disease.

1. Family genetic factors: This is also one of the factors that lead to polycystic ovary. According to relevant experts, genetic factors are a major factor in the etiology of polycystic ovary.

2. Obese and hyperinsulinemia patients: Some patients, especially obese patients, may show hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance. In fact, there are many causes of insulin resistance, most of which are caused by disorders in the information conduction system after the insulin receptor.

3. Influence of drugs and diseases: Due to excessive mental stress, taking stimulating drugs and certain diseases, the regulatory function of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis is affected, causing the ovarian stroma and theca cells to produce excessive androgens, resulting in a series of symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome such as amenorrhea and hirsutism.

4. Abnormal adrenal function: 50% of patients have abnormal adrenal cortex function, which is often due to hyperfunction of the adrenal cortex, leading to excessive secretion of androgen and symptoms such as anovulation. Diseases that cause adrenal cortex dysfunction mainly include adrenal tumors, adrenal cortical hyperplasia, etc.
