Q I have polycystic ovary syndrome and barely menstruate. Can pregnancy preparation be done together even in a case like this?
A Yes, the ovulatory disorder of polycystic ovary syndrome is addressed together with pregnancy preparation. Combining treatment that restores ovulation rhythm with obstetric ovulation management helps irregular cycles settle and improves your chances of pregnancy.
Detailed Answer
Polycystic ovary syndrome is a condition in which ovulation does not occur regularly, causing menstruation to be prolonged or skipped, and it is a common cause of infertility. However, in many cases pregnancy occurs once ovulation is restored, and there are quite a few cases of successful pregnancy through obstetric treatment such as weight management and ovulation induction. So we address the ovulatory disorder itself as one part of the pregnancy preparation process.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
One 29-year-old patient who had relied on birth control pills for seven years due to polycystic ovary syndrome would stop menstruating whenever she came off the pills. At Dongjedang, we carried out treatment to boost the kidney (sin) energy, the root of reproduction, and clear accumulated dampness-phlegm. About three months later, she experienced her first ovulation and period on her own, without artificial hormones, regaining her body's rhythm.
