Today, we’re here to educate you about the headache of polycystic ovary syndrome. Those women who are deeply disturbed by it must be no stranger to it, and can even be described as abhorrent, right? Don’t worry, as a woman or a family member of a fellow woman.
First, to analyze the clinical manifestations of polycystic ovary syndrome in detail.
1. Irregular menstruation.
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re doing.
2. Difficulty in getting pregnant.
This may be the ultimate goal of most women to treat polycystic.
3, hairy.
Upper arms, thighs, lips around, breasts and so on where the body hair is thick, more and more like a woman.
4, acne.
Facial, back acne, which is not simply a beautiful pimple so simple Oh!
5, more and more fat.
Eat perhaps not much, but the weight is silently rubbing upward soaring, bucket waist ah, swim ring ah came one after another.
If the above points you unfortunately hit (do not have to meet all), you have to consider it: I will be polycystic it? Some sisters may be confused, I am thin, smooth skin, why do doctors suspect or diagnose me with polycystic ovary syndrome?
This is because polycystic ovary syndrome varies greatly from person to person, which means that not all of the 5 points mentioned above need to be met, and polycystic patients are fat, feminine, and petite. Not every patient will have obesity or acne, and obesity or acne is not an indicator to rule out polycystic. And don’t underestimate polycystic ovary syndrome, it brings more problems than just the above mentioned manifestations, that’s just the tip of the iceberg, the full name of the patient has the word “syndrome” in it!
What is “syndrome”?
The so-called syndrome, the condition involves the reproductive system, endocrine system, metabolic system, in addition to gynecological manifestations, subconsciously your glucose and lipid metabolism is occurring disorders.
Maybe now, you are still young, metabolic problems are still in the budding stage, so do not feel much (weight on Biao sisters pay attention to it, this is due to metabolic abnormalities cause you to drink water are fat oh). In the long run, about middle and old age, if the disease is not well controlled, it may be complicated by endometrial cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, it is simply very frightening ah!
So, for going to the gynecological clinic, but the doctor gives you check blood sugar, check insulin, check lipids four, you should also understand the reason.
1. Is it necessarily polycystic if your period is pushed back?
Analysis of the fragile and capricious aunt
The formation of normal menstruation depends on the endocrine reaction between hypothalamus-pituitary gland-ovary-uterus, which can be interpreted as a one-level workshop work, each workshop is connected and interlocked, and the operation of the next workshop depends on the normal operation of the previous one.
Patients with polycystic disease often have endocrine disorders such as high androgens, which inhibit the growth and maturation of follicles and prevent the follicles from coming out of the ovaries (the polycystic ovarian changes seen on ultrasound are actually a group of immature follicles piled up in the ovaries) and prevent the period from arriving on time.
Apart from polycystic, there are many other factors that can cause your period not to arrive on time, such as malnutrition, great mental stimulation, damage to the uterine cavity from abortion, etc. And of course, you have to rule out if you are already pregnant!
One or two postponements may be purely coincidental, but if you have a tendency to postpone your period for a long time, and the postponement time is getting more and more serious, you need to go to the hospital and let a professional gynecologist help you find the cause.
Why do you have polycystic?
This is an unsolved problem of the century, just like the origin of the universe. Generally speaking, there are genetic and non-genetic factors. It may have a certain genetic tendency, your mother or sister has polycystic, suggesting that you may, but not necessarily will, get polycystic.
The unhealthy lifestyle, high-energy diet, and long-term anxiety and depression may also be the causes of polycystic disease or aggravate its progress. Many other causes are still unknown, so don’t dwell on the causes, it’s most important to face the reality.
How to finally determine that you are suffering from polycystic?
1. Sporadic ovulation or anovulation: manifested by sporadic menstruation, amenorrhea, and inability to establish regular menstruation for 2-3 years after menarche.
2. Clinical manifestation of hyperandrogenism (hirsutism/acne) or hyperandrogenemia (requires a doctor’s order for blood test).
3. Polycystic ovarian changes (detected by ultrasound of the uterine adnexa under the guidance of the doctor).
If any two of the above three items are met, and some neoplastic diseases are excluded, polycystic can be diagnosed. It should be added that there are very few patients who have regular menstruation and report monthly, but ovulation is not detected by ovulation test or basal body temperature monitoring, which is also in accordance with 1.
