Polycystic ovary, also known as polycystic ovary syndrome, refers to the condition where the number of follicles in each ovary exceeds the normal limit of 12. If suffering from polycystic ovary syndrome, there may be some obvious symptoms, such as irregular menstrual flow, thick body hair, etc. And it may also have an impact on pregnancy. So is polycystic ovary syndrome premature ovarian failure?
Is polycystic ovary syndrome premature ovarian failure
Polycystic syndrome is caused by the excessive number of follicles in the ovaries, while premature ovarian failure is caused by the premature depletion of follicles in the ovaries, leading to a decline in ovarian function, amenorrhea, anovulation, and some menopausal and menopausal symptoms. In general, even with polycystic ovary syndrome, natural conception is still possible, while premature ovarian failure is more severe and can cause infertility. So, polycystic ovary syndrome is not premature ovarian failure, the two are different.
How to treat polycystic ovary syndrome
1. Most cases of polycystic ovary syndrome can be treated with medication, mainly by using drugs to alter a hormone level in the body. Promote follicle maturation and discharge, thereby achieving the goal of promoting pregnancy. There are traditional Chinese patent medicines and simple preparations and western medicine. Western medicine has a faster effect, but it will contain hormones, leading to some side effects. Traditional Chinese medicine may have slower effects, but with fewer side effects.
2. In addition to medication for ovulation induction, surgery can also be used to treat polycystic ovary syndrome. Mainly laser drilling treatment, bilateral ovarian wedge resection, and so on. The principle of surgery is to remove some granulosa cells from the ovary, thereby inhibiting the production of androgens. The effect of surgery is relatively fast and obvious.
