Does polycystic get worse?

Polycystic can become serious if left untreated and early treatment is needed when polycystic ovary syndrome is detected. Polycystic ovary syndrome is an endocrine disease mainly characterized by clinical manifestations of hyperandrogenism, persistent anovulation, and polycystic changes in the ovaries. It is often accompanied by insulin resistance and obesity, and patients may experience scanty menstruation or even no menstruation for several months, infertility, hirsuteness, or acne, among other clinical manifestations. In addition, long-term persistent anovulation increases the probability of endometrial cancer. If left untreated, polycystic ovary syndrome patients will form a vicious cycle of excessive androgen and persistent anovulation, leading to polycystic ovarian changes and aggravating the condition. Therefore, when polycystic ovary syndrome is detected, it needs to be treated promptly with lifestyle modification, medication and surgery under the guidance of a doctor.
