The ovary is one of the important organs that make up the female reproductive system. If there is any disease, its function can also be affected. For example, polycystic ovary syndrome can affect the normal ovulation function of the ovary, and ovarian function is closely related to menstruation. So, if a woman's menstrual cycle is normal, could it also be polycystic?
Women with normal menstruation may also suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome, as mild polycystic ovary like changes may only present with mild clinical symptoms, so there may be no obvious clinical symptoms such as infrequent menstruation and dysfunctional uterine bleeding, or even amenorrhea, hirsutism, obesity, etc. However, it is possible that in the later stages, as the condition worsens, menstrual disorders and clinical symptoms related to hyperandrogenism may also occur.
When polycystic ovary syndrome patients undergo ultrasound examination, one or both ovaries may be found to have 12 or more follicles with a diameter of 2-9 millimeters, or clinical manifestations of hyperandrogenism, hyperandrogenism, as well as infrequent ovulation or anovulation. If the patient meets the above two symptoms and excludes other similar diseases, such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia, androgen secreting tumors, and Cushing's syndrome, a preliminary diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome can be made based on this.
In addition, the treatment plan for this disease needs to be determined based on the specific condition of the diagnosed polycystic ovary syndrome. Currently, drug therapy has gradually replaced surgical treatment as the first-line treatment method, and most patients have a good prognosis after standardized treatment.
