What does it mean when both ovaries show polycystic changes?

Some women have been suffering from infertility for a long time. After going to the hospital for examination, they found that there was a problem with their uterus and ovaries. The uterus and ovaries are the areas where egg cells are produced. The health of the uterus and ovaries directly determines the success rate of pregnancy. If a woman has bilateral polycystic ovaries, she needs timely treatment. What does bilateral polycystic ovarian changes mean? Let’s find out together.

What does bilateral polycystic ovaries mean?

To put it simply, bilateral ovarian polycystic changes refer to women suffering from polycystic ovarian syndrome. Polycystic ovaries can lead to ovulation disorders or anovulation in women, ultimately causing female infertility. The symptoms of bilateral polycystic ovary include irregular menstruation, obesity, excessive hair growth and infertility, which cause great harm to the health of many female friends. It is necessary to go to a regular hospital for examination in time to avoid missing the best time for treatment.

The exact cause of PCOS is unknown. 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 synergy 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 symptoms of bilateral polycystic ovary syndrome mainly include menstrual disorders or even amenorrhea. Many patients with the disease will also have high levels of male hormones and increased levels of lactone. 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.

What are the harms of polycystic ovary

1. Secondary infertility: Infertility caused by polycystic ovary syndrome is mostly anovulatory infertility, and the most obvious manifestation is amenorrhea. The reason is that the ovarian cyst wall is too thick, which makes it impossible for the egg cells to be discharged and unable to combine with the sperm, which is the root cause of female infertility.

2. Causes irregular menstruation: mainly includes scanty menstrual blood flow or amenorrhea (amenorrhea accounts for 1/3, oligomenorrhea accounts for 90%). Some patients will also show continuous menstrual bleeding, leading to various symptoms such as secondary anemia.

3. Impact on appearance: Patients are more likely to suffer from facial acne (acne rash), which will leave permanent scars and pockmarks on the face after pus discharge. If it is not treated as soon as possible, the appearance cannot be restored after recovery.

4. High incidence of malignant tumors: Long-term and continuous stimulation of the uterine wall by estrogen can easily lead to excessive endometrial hyperplasia, polyps, menstrual discharge, etc. Delayed menopause can easily lead to endometrial cancer.

5. Other injuries: The study found that after 30 years, the prevalence of hypertension in such patients was 8 times higher than that of normal women, the prevalence of diabetes was 6 times higher, the prevalence of endometrial cancer and breast cancer was 2 times higher, and the incidence of heart disease and myocardial infarction was also significantly increased.
