Re: Help! Need proof for Dr. that you can have PCOS w/o cystic ovaries????

Need proof for Dr. that you can have PCOS w/o cystic ovaries????" >From what I have read you don't HAVE to have cysts on your ovaries to have PCOS. You DO have to have various symptoms associated with it (insulin probs, hair probs, skin probs etc). Also your bloodwork should show a higher than normal testost. level, and possibly weird ratios of LH to FSH, etc. I have not had my ovaries looked at and I HAVE been diagnosed as PCOS--based on symptoms and bloodwork. Seems to me that it's less work to just go to a new, better-informed Dr. than to try to 'educate' the one one already has. B/c .. if you have to educate them, what will they know that is more than what you already know? But that is just my opinoin.. good luck At Sun, 28 May 2000, Angel wrote: > >HI Ladies, >OKay Dr. visit number three tommorrow. I really am nervous, and need >to find a little bit of info to take in.
