Summary

In this study, the investigators will include PCOS patients who meet the trial criteria, introduce participants to the content of this study, and invite participants to participate. The immune function of peripheral blood samples of PCOS patients was detected by flow cytometry. Participants were further treated with metformin for 6 months and followed up after the intervention.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study investigates whether differences in immune function can predict how well the diabetes medication metformin works in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) — a hormonal condition that affects periods, fertility, and metabolism. Researchers hope to use immune markers to better personalize treatment for PCOS. **You may be eligible if...** - You are between 18 and 45 years old - You have been diagnosed with PCOS using standard diagnostic criteria (Rotterdam 2003) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are pregnant - You have thyroid problems (over- or underactive thyroid) - You have serious liver or kidney disease - You have cancer - You have severe blood conditions (severe anemia, low white cell count) - You have type 1 diabetes, genetic diabetes, or another type of secondary diabetes - You have a mental illness or intellectual disability - You have taken PCOS medications in the last 3 months - You have a long history of hormone therapy - You are currently participating in another clinical trial Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
