Confused

I'm really sorry, but I'm not understanding...

Even if the ovaries are removed (Oophorectomy) then a person will still have some of the symptoms of
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. PCOS is not a disease, as such, of the ovaries or the uterus.

I don't understand how having the uterus removed (Hysterectomy) would affect the symptoms of PCOS,
so am wondering Debi and ladyinpain, how the doctors have managed or are suggesting to manage any other symptoms
that may be present
e.g. do you ladyinpain, or in Debi's case, does your daughter have hormone imbalances and Insulin Resistance etc.?

Androgen is not only made in the ovaries, it's also made in the adrenal glands and fat cells I think (?).

Insulin Resistance will not be cured by removal of the uterus. It also won't be cured by removal of the ovaries.

PCOS type cysts are the result of many factors.

I really wish the powers-that-be would update and change the name of this condition so that the description was not so cyst-related.
