Hi, I was concerned when I read that someone told you that a hysterectomy was an option for treating PCOS..unless I misread and it is for something else? PCOS is an endocrine disorder and has *nothing* to do with the uterus.. If someone says get a hysterectomy to get rid of PCOS I would get another oppinion right away. (run dont walk)
