Patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) should pay attention to rational medication use and selecting appropriate treatment methods. First, before initiating treatment, it is essential to clearly identify the subtype of PCOS. For instance, if insulin resistance is present, metformin should be combined in the treatment; if hyperandrogenism is present, cyproterone acetate (Diane-35) should be added; and if obesity is present, scientific weight management is also required. Second, for PCOS patients who have become pregnant, close monitoring of embryonic development is necessary to prevent miscarriage caused by luteal phase deficiency.
