The ovaries are vital organs in the female reproductive system, responsible for producing and maturing eggs. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common condition that affects egg production and maturation, making natural conception difficult for women. For women and couples with PCOS, understanding its potential harms and suitable treatment methods is crucial.

 

The harms of PCOS are multifaceted. First, menstrual irregularities are a common symptom, manifesting as infrequent periods or amenorrhea, and sometimes even persistent, prolonged bleeding. Second, the risk of pregnancy complications significantly increases, especially gestational hypertension and gestational diabetes. Additionally, PCOS is often accompanied by anovulation, directly leading to infertility. Due to the lack of ovulation, the ovaries primarily secrete estrogen and androgens, lacking the balancing effect of progesterone, which can cause endometrial hyperplasia and increase the potential risk of developing endometrial cancer.

 

PCOS can also affect appearance. Due to excess androgens, patients may experience increased body hair (such as facial hair) and acne, causing daily inconvenience. Furthermore, studies show that PCOS patients have a higher incidence of future hypertension, diabetes, endometrial cancer, and breast cancer compared to women without the condition.

 

Despite facing numerous challenges, PCOS patients still have the opportunity to achieve their dream of parenthood through IVF technology. IVF can significantly improve success rates through advanced techniques like in vitro egg maturation. However, not all PCOS patients immediately require IVF. If the patient's fallopian tubes are clear and the male partner's sperm quality is normal, they might first consider attempting natural conception by adjusting endocrine levels and inducing ovulation. If these methods are ineffective within six months to a year, or if other infertility factors are present, such as fallopian tube blockage or male oligo/asthenozoospermia, then IVF technology can be considered.

 

For older couples undergoing pregnancy preparation, PCOS patients can significantly increase their pregnancy success rates by combining IVF with IVF-PGT (Preimplantation Genetic Testing). This third-generation IVF technology involves genetic diagnosis and screening before embryo transfer to select healthy embryos. Dr. Nathan Zhang, a PhD from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and founder of IVF USA, points out that US IVF clinics boast top-tier embryology laboratories capable of culturing embryos to the blastocyst stage (day 5 to 7). Through PGT/PGS technology, chromosomal abnormalities can be effectively screened, ensuring the transferred embryos are healthy, thereby safeguarding the fertility journey for PCOS patients.

The IVF USA team, founded by Dr. Nathan Zhang, has been providing overseas assisted reproductive consulting services for over a decade, offering US egg freezing, US IVF, and third-party assisted reproductive services to those in need.
