Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common disease among women. Most patients with polycystic ovary syndrome have just given birth. This disease is very harmful to a woman, especially to those who want a baby. It is a great harm. Many people know that polycystic ovary is very harmful, but they don’t know what symptoms it has. When we judge whether we have such a disease, we can refer to some symptoms of polycystic ovary. 1. Abnormal menstruation Menstruation is scanty or amenorrhea may occur, and in a few cases, functional uterine bleeding may occur. It often occurs during adolescence, as a continuation of irregular menstruation after menarche, sometimes accompanied by dysmenorrhea. 2. Hairy Hirsutism is common, with an incidence rate of up to 69%. Due to the increase in androgen levels, the vellus hair on the upper lip, lower jaw, chest, back, middle of the lower abdomen, both sides of the upper thighs and around the anus will become thicker and more numerous, but the degree of hirsutism is not proportional to the androgen level (affected by multiple factors such as the number of receptors, estrogen, SHBG and the sensitivity of hair follicles to androgens). It may also be accompanied by acne, excessive facial sebum secretion, deep and rough voice, enlarged clitoris, Adam's apple and other signs of masculinization. This is an important point in the early symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome. 3. Obesity Weight exceeds 20%, and 30% to 60% of people have a body mass index ≥ 25. Obesity is mostly concentrated in the upper body, with a waist/hip ratio > 0.85. It usually starts in adolescence and gradually worsens with age. 4. Ovarian enlargement A small number of patients can feel enlarged and firm ovaries through general gynecological examination, but most patients need auxiliary examinations to confirm the diagnosis. 5. Estrogen Effects All patients showed good estrogen response. During examination, a large amount of cervical mucus may be seen. Continuous and large amounts of estrogen can cause rapid endometrial hyperplasia, atypical hyperplasia, and even cancer. 6. Infertility Due to long-term anovulation, patients often suffer from infertility, and sometimes have occasional ovulation or miscarriage, with an incidence rate of up to 74%. When treating diseases, many of us must also pay attention to our diet. Many people eat casually, or eat when they want to, and don’t eat when they don’t want to. This is of no help in treating diseases. Especially for women, they must be more careful and not make random choices. They should try to choose less raw, cold, and spicy foods. This will bring good results to the treatment of diseases. Many people, when treating diseases, do not want to take medicine and prefer to rely on diet therapy, which has no side effects on the body and does not cause much harm. What female friends need to be reminded of is that the diet must be nutritionally balanced and do not eat only the same food, otherwise the nutritional rescue will not keep up. Do not use chilled, raw, or spicy foods. This will help you get better faster during treatment. |
