Re: PCOS symptoms after Hysterectomy

Hi Stacey and Kat,

There are many posts about hysterectomy and pcos on the main pcos forum, and I recommend that you both do a little research and reading. PCOS is not caused by your ovaries, the cysts are a symptom of the underlying genetic disease. A hysterectomy and oopherectomy will help some things - reduce pms, eliminate long periods, and remove the cystic ovaries. But they will not stop the endocrine disorder - you could still have high testosterone, excess hair growth, poor insulin response, and the increased risk of diabetes, heart disease, etc.

If you have had a th/bso you could still benefit from insulin sensitizers and treatment from a reputable endocrinologist. The underlying disease should be treated. Please do some reading and research -- and don't lose hope! You can still get treatment, and still deserve good treatment.

luck, SusieQ
