How to diagnose polycystic ovary syndrome

Polycystic ovary syndrome is a menstrual disorder that can manifest as irregular menstruation, including infrequent menstruation, frequent menstruation, amenorrhea, as well as obesity, infertility, excessive hair growth, acne, etc. Polycystic ovary syndrome is usually diagnosed when patients seek medical treatment due to infertility or irregular menstruation and go to the hospital for examination. Generally, patients with PCOS need to undergo B-ultrasound examination to understand the condition of the uterine wall and ovaries. These patients usually present with polycystic ovaries and multiple small eggs. At the same time, blood tests for hormones and insulin should be conducted to understand the actual values ​​of hormones for diagnosis. The problem of insulin resistance is related to the treatment of polycystic ovary.

Patients suspected of having PCOS should also undergo thyroid hormone testing, because thyroid disease may also cause symptoms such as irregular menstruation.

The diagnosis of PCOS is mainly based on B-ultrasound, its clinical manifestations, and estrogen levels. Therefore, the examination of PCOS can generally be done through B-ultrasound to see whether there are some polycystic ovary changes in the uterus and ovaries. Through its six sex hormone items, we can see whether its female hormones have increased male hormone levels, in other words, whether the ratio of LH and FSH is abnormal. We also need to consider polycystic ovary syndrome and whether its clinical symptoms include some more obvious manifestations of menstrual disorders.

Polycystic ovary syndrome is a type of endocrine disorder, which is commonly seen in amenorrhea or menstrual disorders, ovulation function problems, excessive body hair, obesity, etc. To check for PCOS, a blood test for hormone is needed on the 3rd to 5th day of the menstrual period. If the progesterone level is relatively high and there is also an increase in androgen, this indicates an endocrine imbalance. If an ultrasound also reveals that there are multiple eggs in both uterus and ovaries, PCOS can be diagnosed. To treat PCOS, Diane should be used to regulate endocrine system, and if there is a desire to conceive, ovulation can also be promoted.
