Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders among women of reproductive age, characterized by irregular ovulation, hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovarian morphology. Although PCOS may lead to infertility, many individuals can still conceive naturally through appropriate management. The key lies in improving insulin resistance and hormonal balance.
Weight management is the primary strategy. Research shows that even a 5% to 10% reduction in body weight can significantly improve ovulatory function and menstrual cycle regularity. A low glycemic index (GI) diet is recommended, reducing refined carbohydrates and sugar intake while increasing dietary fiber, high-quality protein, and healthy fats. Regular exercise (such as 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week) also helps lower insulin levels.
Pharmacological assistance is also a common option. Physicians may prescribe Metformin to improve insulin resistance, or use ovulation induction agents such as Clomiphene citrate and Letrozole. These medications should be used under medical supervision to reduce the risks of multiple pregnancies and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.
Monitoring ovulation timing can improve conception rates. Basal body temperature measurement, ovulation predictor kits, or ultrasound tracking of follicular development can all help identify the day of ovulation. For those with highly irregular menstruation, physicians may recommend using progestin to induce cycles, combined with ovulation induction.
Stress management and sleep quality are equally important. Chronic stress elevates cortisol, which further disrupts hormones. Meditation, yoga, or psychological counseling can help regulate stress. Adequate sleep (7 to 9 hours) also stabilizes metabolism and endocrine function.
