Dear Piros:
Please ask the doctor why a laparoscopy is necessary.
This procedure will not treat PCO/PCOS, however, you
may have another problem that may be treated by
laparoscopy, i.e. blocked fallopian tube,
endometriosis, etc.
THe difference: PCO-no symptoms of PCOS just the
problem in the ovary, PCOS-with symptoms.
I hope this helps.
