Abstract

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common clinical disease of reproductive endocrine hormone abnormalities and metabolic disorders, with a variety of clinical symptoms and complex etiology. Recent studies have shown that genetics, reproductive endocrine hormones, inflammatory factors, intestinal flora, microRNAs, signal transduction pathways and insulin resistance are closely related to the development of PCOS. Regarding the treatment modalities of PCOS, Western medicine mostly focuses on symptomatic treatment for elevated androgens, ovulation abnormalities, menstrual irregularities and insulin resistance. Chinese medicine focuses on conditioning, and adopts Chinese medicine, acupuncture and needle-medicine combination for different identification and typing through the idea of holistic view. The combination of Chinese and Western medicine gives full play to the advantages between modern medicine and traditional medicine, and combines Western medicine with Chinese medicine for symptomatic treatment, which is a holistic approach and has significant therapeutic effects. Therefore, this paper provides an overview of the research on the etiology and pathogenesis of PCOS in recent years, as well as an overview of the treatment of PCOS by Western medicine, Chinese medicine and the combination of Chinese and Western medicine.
