1. Symptoms of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
What are the symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome?

The symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome are first of all amenorrhea, irregular bleeding. It is the main disease that causes chronic anovulation and is the most common cause of infertility.

 

When you have polycystic ovary syndrome, various endocrine organs such as the ovaries and adrenal glands develop insulin resistance, and the insulin levels in the blood can become elevated, which can lead to an excessive amount of male hormones in the blood. This can lead to symptoms such as hirsutism, acne, and male pattern baldness.

 

2. Incidence of polycystic ovary syndrome
How often does polycystic ovary syndrome occur?
Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common endocrine disorder that affects 20% of all women. Nearly 50% of patients with amenorrhea or irregular menstruation for more than 3 months are caused by polycystic ovary syndrome.
3. Polycystic ovary syndrome management
How should polycystic ovary syndrome be managed?

Polycystic ovary syndrome is not difficult to treat on its own. However, long-term complications such as obesity, diabetes, and depression can occur, so various management measures are required. In particular, obesity requires intensive management because obesity itself can exacerbate polycystic ovary syndrome, and polycystic ovary syndrome can lead to obesity.

 

The basis of the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome is weight loss. In fact, it is known that even a weight loss of about 5% is effective in improving ovulation disorders and insulin resistance. In order to lose weight, it is recommended that you first exercise for at least 30 minutes every day to make you sweat.

 

It is also important to correct your dietary habits. Keep your total fat intake below 30% and total calories at around 500~1000kcal per day. A moderate amount of caffeine intake may actually help you lose weight.
