How to manage polycystic ovary syndrome in underweight individuals
Disease description:
My younger sister is very thin and has developed polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). How should PCOS be managed in underweight individuals?
Underweight individuals with polycystic ovary syndrome can generally regulate hormones through hormonal therapy. If menstruation does not occur for an extended period, ovulation induction treatment should be administered. If menstruation is absent for two months, progesterone should be used to promote endometrial transformation and prevent endometrial lesions. A balanced diet with adequate intake of protein, vitamins, and trace elements is important, along with exercise to increase muscle mass. It is advisable to regularly consume fresh vegetables and fruits, supplement vitamin C, maintain a relaxed mood, and avoid excessive stress.
