Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) four to five centimeters on the right. I am taking tablet Krimson 35, tablet Normoz, and tablet Metformin 500 mg for three months. I have been married for two years and I am anxious to conceive. Is there any possibility that I can conceive, or do I need to undergo surgery? However, I am scared of undergoing surgery. Can it be cured without surgery? Can I become a mother?

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thanks for the query.

Please send me a detailed gynecology, medical, and drug histories. Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal imbalance with multiple growing follicles, and increased size of the ovaries. The polycystic ovarian syndrome can irregulate the menstrual cycle, making you gain weight and experience abnormal hair growth. Maintain a healthy lifestyle, and have a well-balanced diet with less salt, sugar, oil, and spice. Exercise regularly, take short walks, do yoga, and maintain a normal weight and body mass index (BMI). Get all your and your partner's medical issues checked. Have recreational activities as a couple and quit recreational drugs, as this will increase fertility issues and can cause congenital anomalies in the fetus. Have sex in the fertile period of the cycle. My advise:

Consult your specialist doctor, talk to them, and take medications with their consent.

  1. Take tablet Folvite 5 mg (folic acid) daily.
  2. Take a blood test on the second day of your period (serum progesterone, testosterone, insulin, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), prolactin, thyroid function tests).

Once you complete the blood tests, we can discuss the results.

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
