Hi Maria,

I don't know who has offered you hysterectomy and for what reason (most probably for the uncontrollable bleeding), but it is no cure for PCOS. PCOS is a metabolic disease (insulin resistance being at the root, hence the high insulin levels and the furhter symptoms). For the bleeding you should have a curettage first and if the histology is OK you can control it hormonally. For the metabolic part insulin sensitizers are reommended. For your info
