I had a total hysterectomy in Feb of this year. All of my pcos symptoms
have remained the same, no worse and no better, pretty much as before
other than the menopausal symptoms. I had my hysterectomy due to
extreme pain with periods that drugs could not control anymore and don't
regret it one bit, for me it was a good decision...hth's
