This study aims to evaluate the effect of metformin-GLP-1 Receptor agonist combination versus metformin-Diane-35 combination treatment on lipid metabolism and cardiovascular risks in overweight polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) patients.
Groups: Experimental treatment: Metformin-GLP-1 Receptor Agonist Therapy. Regular treatment: Metformin-Oral Contraceptive(OC) Therapy. Time Point: Initial treatment; Post-treatment (4w); Post-treatment (8w); Post-treatment (12w); Assess reproductive functions and cardiovascular risk factors.
