Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder that significantly impairs female fertility and overall health. With the advancement of evidence-based medicine, therapeutic approaches for PCOS have become increasingly diversified. As two major treatment modalities, hormonal therapy and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) have attracted widespread attention. Although numerous studies have explored the efficacy and safety of different treatment regimens, many controversies and deficiencies still exist in clinical practice. From the perspective of evidence-based medicine, this review systematically assesses the clinical application effects of hormonal therapy and TCM for PCOS. Through a comprehensive analysis of relevant literature, it compares the efficacy of various treatments and puts forward evidence-based therapeutic recommendations. This study aims to provide a scientific reference for clinical decision-making and promote the progress of comprehensive management and treatment of PCOS.
