Re: Had a hysterectomy, still have ovaries, lots of questions. From: Belle (anonymous@obgyn.net) Fri, 30 Jun 2000 23:33:19 -0500 (CDT) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Previous message: Belle: "Re: Could the Doctors on the board plaesa take a look at this..." In reply to: paula: "Had a hysterectomy, still have ovaries, lots of questions." 1) NO, the ovaries are not the problem. you will find women on here who have had their ovaries removed and the symptomes of PCOS became worse. The problem seems to be with our insulin production. 2) Wrong, metformin is for people who have problems with using their insulin efficiently. In us, it helps our other hormones get back to the levels where they are supposed to be. Check this out : http://blues.fd1.uc.edu/~gartsips/polycyst.htm Also look at http://www.pcosupport.org 3) No clue, you could do a search for KC here (I do not remember any right off hand but there may be some posts). Look at the PCOSupport site under health care professionals, Ask here if any one knows of a good dr in KC with that in the subject line. Be sure to leave your e-address so they can contact you. Glad to have you post. I was a silent reader of the old board for over two months before I answered my first post. Now that you have the hang of it, jump in!
