What should I do if there are cysts in my ovaries?

Dear female friends, if your menstruation is always late, sometimes even several months late, or your face is covered with pimples and no amount of acne treatment can cure it, or your weight keeps rising and you can't get rid of your belly, or your previously smooth face suddenly grows a disgusting mustache, and your smooth long legs suddenly become hairy, then you have to be careful, because maybe a disease called "polycystic ovary syndrome" is invading your body.

Polycystic ovary syndrome is not uncommon in clinical practice, but its manifestations vary greatly, often playing "hide and seek" with patients and even clinicians. However, it still has characteristic manifestations, such as infrequent menstruation or amenorrhea, obesity, hirsutism and acne, infertility, and acanthosis nigricans. Patients may have one or several of these symptoms.

Some patients believe that polycystic ovary syndrome means multiple small cysts on the ovaries, which is wrong. Polycystic ovary is not an ovarian cyst, nor is it just an ovarian disease. Under normal circumstances, several follicles will grow slowly from a single cell in the ovaries every month, but in the end only the most "excellent" follicle will stand out, mature rapidly and even ovulate. After suffering from polycystic ovary syndrome, the "selection process" of the ovaries is affected, all follicles remain in the development stage, and no one can win. In the ovaries, there are multiple cystic changes containing "radiating" or "necklace-like" small follicles under ultrasound.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that PCOS is mainly related to the congenital deficiency of the kidneys, the acquired dysfunction of the spleen and stomach, and the stagnation of liver qi. During the treatment process, it was also found that for patients with various types of polycystic ovary syndrome, it is ideal to use traditional Chinese medicine alone for treatment when the disease first occurs. If the disease lasts for a long time, it requires the combined treatment of Chinese and Western medicine to achieve satisfactory results.

Using a combination of Chinese and Western medicine to treat PCOS can effectively help us restore the menstrual cycle, improve facial skin, lose weight, reduce the growth of mustache and leg hair, and promote female ovulation and conception. In addition, patients can recover quickly through diet therapy, a reasonable diet, and supplementation of essential nutrients.
