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)
