Why Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common disease caused by complex endocrine and metabolic abnormalities in women of childbearing age. There may be many follicles in polycystic ovary syndrome, but each follicle is relatively small and usually difficult to mature. A typical B-ultrasound usually shows more than 12 echo-free areas with a diameter of 2 to 9 mm on one or both sides of the ovary, arranged in a wheel shape around the edge of the ovary. Normal mature follicles are about 20 mm, while there may be more than ten follicles in polycystic ovary syndrome, each of which may be only a few millimeters or more than ten millimeters, and they will generally atrophy if they do not exceed 15 mm.

Symptoms of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

During a gynecological B-ultrasound examination, multiple immature follicles can be found in the ovaries. Growth hormone measurements will show that the level of luteinizing hormone is higher than that of follicle-stimulating hormone, indicating a disorder of hormone secretion. If a woman wishes to become pregnant, she must first undergo a comprehensive treatment approach, including controlling her diet, exercising, and taking medication, to regularize her menstrual cycle and allow her ovaries to ovulate normally. Polycystic ovary syndrome is a disease caused by endocrine disorders, which is usually manifested by symptoms such as menstrual disorders, prolonged cycles, scanty menstruation, amenorrhea, infertility, hirsutism, obesity, hyperandrogenism, and insulin resistance. After sexual intercourse during the ovulation period, the egg and sperm can combine to develop into a fertilized egg, which is then transplanted into the uterine cavity for implantation, growth, and development, so that women can become pregnant normally.
