Dr. Zhao Xiaodong
Polycystic ovary generally refers to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). PCOS generally cannot be cured, but its symptoms can be controlled through treatment. 1. Complex etiology: The causes of PCOS are diverse, including various genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors, making it difficult to achieve a complete cure. 2. Diverse symptoms: The clinical manifestations of this disease are varied, including menstrual irregularities, ovulatory dysfunction, infertility, hirsutism, acne, etc. These symptoms may differ among patients and may change as the condition progresses. 3. Treatment goals: As PCOS cannot be cured, the main objectives of treatment are to relieve symptoms, improve fertility, and prevent complications. Physicians will develop individualized treatment plans based on each patient's specific condition, which may include pharmacological therapy, surgical intervention, and lifestyle modifications.
