What to do if you have irregular menstruation and polycystic ovary syndrome

Ovarian cyst is a common gynecological disease, which is mainly caused by female endocrine disorders. There are many reasons for endocrine disorders, such as staying up late frequently and unbalanced eating, which may cause endocrine disorders. Therefore, this type of ovarian cyst is a gynecological disease for women. Ovarian cysts have many symptoms, such as obesity, irregular menstruation, etc. So, what should we do if polycystic ovary causes menstrual irregularities?

Polycystic ovary menstrual irregularity

Polycystic ovary syndrome is similar to "late menstruation", "amenorrhea", "infertility" and other categories in traditional Chinese medicine. It is related to factors such as insufficient kidney qi, deficiency of qi and blood, disorder of Chong and Ren, liver depression and qi stagnation, spleen deficiency and phlegm dampness. Complete cure of polycystic disease is rare in clinical practice. The purpose of treating polycystic disease is not to make menstruation come monthly, but to allow the follicles to mature, to have dominant follicles, and to allow the patient to become pregnant. Therefore, those who wish to become pregnant are often easier to treat.

1. Weight loss method: This method focuses on increasing exercise to reduce weight, due to endocrine and metabolic disorders caused by obesity. Then losing weight can effectively restore your endocrine system to normal. In this way, once ovulation becomes normal, the chance of pregnancy will greatly increase, and polycystic ovary will gradually disappear.

2. Insulin resistance method: Reducing insulin resistance can increase SHBG, causing the androgen level to decrease, which can effectively solve the phenomenon of polycystic ovary and infertility caused by excessive androgen.

3. Clomiphene drug therapy: It competes with endogenous estrogen receptors at the hypothalamus-pituitary level, inhibits estrogen negative feedback, increases the pulse frequency of GnRH secretion, and thus adjusts the secretion ratio of LH and FSH. This promotes ovulation rate. However, this drug has side effects such as abdominal discomfort, blurred vision, rash, hair loss, etc.

4. Urinary gonadotropin drug therapy: It is mainly used for patients with reduced endogenous pituitary gonadotropin and estrogen secretion. However, this drug has greater side effects than clomiphene and is highly irritating to the ovaries.

5. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone therapy: It can promote the release of FSH and LH from the pituitary gland, but long-term use will make the receptors of pituitary cells insensitive, leading to a decrease in gonadotropin, thereby reducing the synthesis of ovarian sex hormones.

6. Bilateral ovarian wedge resection therapy: Removal of part of the ovaries to eliminate excess androgen produced by the ovaries can correct the regulatory disorder of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis, but the location of the resection and the amount of tissue removed are related to the efficacy, and the effectiveness varies. This method has a high recurrence rate after surgery.

7. Medicine conditioning method: This method is more conservative, but safe and has no side effects. The doctor will prescribe a prescription based on your specific situation. You must insist on taking Chinese medicine and go for a check-up every once in a while to ensure that the doctor can accurately grasp your condition.
