Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common reproductive system disorder in women. When suspecting you might have PCOS, you should make an appointment with the obstetrics and gynecology department. In this department, doctors will comprehensively evaluate your condition based on symptoms, physical signs, and relevant medical tests such as pelvic ultrasound and blood hormone tests. Treatment for PCOS typically includes both medication and surgical options, and physicians will develop an individualized treatment plan according to each patient's specific circumstances. In addition to professional medical treatment, patients should also focus on lifestyle modifications, such as maintaining a healthy diet and increasing physical activity, to help improve their condition. If you suspect you may have PCOS, it is important to seek timely medical attention and consult a qualified healthcare provider.
