How to treat polycystic

Polycystic generally refers to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and because the cause of PCOS is unknown, management is limited to resolving symptoms or targeting a particular part of the pathophysiology. General treatment includes weight control, androgen therapy, menstrual regulation, and insulin resistance therapy. 1. Weight control. Obesity is a problem that almost every obese patient with polycystic ovary syndrome has to solve. Commonly used methods for treating obesity include diet, exercise, weight loss medications, and surgery. 2. Targeting androgen therapy. Hairiness and acne are the result of androgen action on hair follicles, so the main target androgen treatment. These include oral contraceptive tablets, cyproterone, Advil, gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists, and adrenocorticotropic hormone preparations. 3. Regulate menstruation. For those who do not want to have children, only adjusting the menstrual cycle is enough. Including progesterone, oral contraceptive tablets and so on. 4. Treatment for insulin resistance. Commonly used drugs are metformin, which reduces insulin resistance by increasing glucose uptake and reducing hepatic glucose production. Polycystic ovary syndrome should be treated under the guidance of specialized doctors.
