Dear class six, I recently felt hormonal imbalance and found out I have polycystic ovary syndrome after hospital examination. Will this affect pregnancy?
Irregular periods, localized acne, excess hair, obesity,
Perhaps many adjustments have not been effective,
Have you ever suspected the ovaries?
Polycystic ovary syndrome,
A disease involving hormones and metabolism,
Many women also worry,
Does this mean they are unable to conceive?
Let’s listen to the explanation from our Reproductive Medicine Center
Deputy Director Physician Li Tingting.
Li Tingting stated that for our Reproductive Medicine Center, polycystic ovary syndrome is one of the best conditions to handle. It involves ovulation disorders, where follicles do not develop and eggs cannot be released. In such cases, providing ovulation-stimulating medication assists in the ovulation process, making pregnancy easier. Although conceiving may be more complex, there is no need to worry, as you can still have lovely and healthy babies.
Polycystic ovary syndrome can affect a woman’s fertility, but it does not mean that all patients can no longer conceive.
Precautions for conceiving with polycystic ovary syndrome:
1
Monitor ovulation
Normal women generally have a dominant follicle each month, but women with polycystic ovaries may not develop a dominant follicle every month. Monitoring ovulation can be done through ovulation test kits, ultrasound, and other methods.
2
Stimulate ovulation
Common methods include ovulation induction injections and medication.
3
Maintain a healthy lifestyle
Some patients with polycystic ovary syndrome may have obesity issues. Controlling weight is crucial for conceiving, avoiding high sugar, high-fat, high-energy foods, increasing intake of vegetables and fruits, moderate consumption of proteins and carbohydrates. Engage in appropriate exercise to enhance physical fitness. Maintain regular sleeping patterns to ensure you have sufficient energy.
