Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a major disease causing modern women's metabolic disorders, irregular menstruation, infertility, and other symptoms. In addition, the etiology and pathology of PCOS is still not thoroughly studied, so it has become a difficult and complicated disease endangering women's health. Obesity is one of its typical manifestations, and patients often present central obesity. With the in-depth study of modern medicine, people find that obesity plays an important role in regulating the immune inflammatory response and metabolism of the human body, and the change in the distribution ratio of white fat and brown fat in the patient is the root cause of a series of metabolic disorders. At the same time, the role of the two fats in the human body is similar to that of spleen and kidney in many aspects. Coupled with a growing number of experimental studies prove that polycystic ovary syndrome patients lose weight of significant effect on the disease rehabilitation, this paper aims to explore the white fat brown and the relationship between the TCM spleen and kidney, in order to find more effective traditional Chinese and western medicine treatment for polycystic ovary syndrome.
