Hello ladyinpain,

There is a pain that can happen for many women during mid-cycle (mid-cycle pain) which is called Mittelschmerz and can happen with or without PCOS. The pain will typically last approximately 24 hours but each woman is different.
The pain caused by Mittelschmerz can be quite extreme.

Information about Mittelschmerz:

Last week I was diagnosed with PCOS, and I will need a hysterectomy
I am not sure why you need to have a hysterectomy for Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) This is not usually typical.

Information about PCOS:
https://www.womenshealth.gov/publica...-syndrome.html

I have had PCOS since my early teens which is usually when PCOS first appears. I am now 53 years old and an ultrasound still shows the evidence of PCOS. I have also experienced Mittelschmerz since I started my cycles many years ago.

I have not had surgery for PCOS and would consider a second opinion before having a hysterectomy for this Syndrome.

Take care.
