What are the risks of polycystic ovary syndrome?

  The main effects of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) include: (1) menstruation and reproductive function.  (2) Glucose metabolism and lipid metabolism.  It is chronic and affects women’s health almost throughout their lives. It is not curable, but can be managed.  1.Health hazards of polycystic ovary syndrome Immediate hazards: including menstrual disorders, infertility, acne, hirsutism, obesity, etc.; most people’s knowledge of the disease stays in the immediate hazards, thinking that adjusting menstruation and curing infertility is the ultimate goal, then you are wrong!  Obstetric harms: 2-fold increase in miscarriage rate, 3-4 times increase in incidence of gestational diabetes and gestational hypertension. One of my studies found that the prevalence of gestational diabetes in patients with PCOS assisted conception was about 40%, so I’m really not scaring you!  Long-term risks: including increased incidence of endometrial cancer, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, etc. These are the invisible killers lurking in the body of PCOS patients, which come very stealthy and have very serious consequences! Unknowingly you will trip the gun!  2, the need for long-term management Because of the far-reaching impact of the disease on women’s health, the disease requires long-term management.  The immediate goal of long-term management is to adjust the menstrual cycle, treat hirsutism, and acne, control weight, and assist fertility; the long-term goal is to protect the endometrium to prevent endometrial cancer, prevent diabetes, cardiovascular disease, etc.   Myth 4: Ignore the long-term health effects of the disease; Myth 5: The treatment course is arbitrary and lacks regular testing;
