 * Does this have to do with PCOS? Or just a random question? Anyway, not every hysterectomy (removal of uterus) also involves removal of the ovaries. Depends on the indication: if there's cancer in the uterus the ovaries may be removed, otherwise they generally remain.
 * Removal of the ovaries removes the main source of sex hormones, causing instant menopause and increasing the risk of problems like osteoporosis. JFW | T@lk  12:46, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Polycystic ovary syndrome
Onlyjesus32 (talk) 17:59, 20 April 2010 (UTC)I think there are so many non-obese women with PCOS. But this page didn't metioned about that. What if I am non-obese woman with PCOS? Is there any chance to have insulin resistance or diabetes(maybe type2)? Is there any medicine or treatment to return to the normal status?

I would like to know if it is still possible to conceive with this type of disorder. Thank you.

 * Yes - clomiphene and insulin sensitising agents (most commonly Metformin) reported to have good outcomes. Research though sometimes contradictory as to which works best. David Ruben Talk 01:51, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Many women with PCOS have no problem at all with conception. Others require major intervention.

what are the signs and symptom of pregnacy with pcos. due to there is a high risk of misscarage.

Hi, I run a PCOS support group ( www.pcosfriendly.co.uk ) and was wondering if it would be suitable to add to your site links? Thank you Foostar 19:06, 25 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks Foostar for polite request (vs the typical spamming of links so often seen in articles) Whilst you have a nice looking homepage, no not I think an appropriate external link. Please see WP:External links for the policy, but unless a site substantially contains a greater amount of information than is appropriate to include within an encyclopaedic article itself, then generally the external link is unhelpful. Forums and blogs (however good) are almost never appropriate links, unless the websie itself is the subject matter of the article (wikipedia is not a directory service). I wish you luck with your forum/blog :-) David Ruben Talk 21:09, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your swift reply :) Am an currently working on adding much more information to the site (currently, it's only a messageboard for support and information, and a few internal pages) - would I be able to ask later on? Or would that be considered spam? I asked because Verity.co.uk is a messageboard too (abeit on a larger, more official scale).

Again, thank you for your reply :) Much appreciated. Foostar 11:25, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

aging ovaries
I'm a healthy 34 yr old woman and have just been told that my ovaries are older for my age. My husband and I are trying to concieve, and every month it's the same result(no baby). We are seeking help with a fertility doctor in Ottawa, ont, Canada. She was the one that had told me that my ovaries are older for my age. I'm trying to find some information about this disorder but don't know the medical name, and if there is a way to repair my ovaries? I go to see her again in Jan, and was just wondering about this disorder so I may have more important questions for her when we see her again. thanks michelle

PLEASE HELP!
My wife has PCOS. She had surgery for it 5 years ago and went thru many problems after the surgery, ie mood swings etc. She still has one good ovary but the cysts have returned whle we were trying to get pregnant. She is now denying any treatment or meds. I can't seem to change her mind and we may be getting a divorce becuase she says we can't stay together because I will still want kids later and will resent her for her illness. She is unwilling to consider adoption or fertility meds because we don't have the money to pursue either. What are her chances of living with this without treatment. What are possible out comes?

I would certainly encourage you to research the Ian Stoakes approach, noting the risks as explained on this site that further medical validation would be benefitial through approproate papers. My own fiancee has used the programme and by the pragmatic criteria of loss of weight, periods starting again....it has worked

IS THIS BECAUSE OF PCOS?

I just had my Dr. to confirm what I already suspected....PCOS. I just started Metformin. I have every symptom other than the Acanthosis nigricans. I have things that aren't listed as a symptom going on. I have no sex drive it is obsolete. No desire at all. Is this a symptom that is rare and that is why not mentioned or am I just having another problem not related to PCOS? My husband is convinced that we won't have children, I have a 5yr old from a previous marriage that has brain damage as a result of his red blood cells being to thick while in my last month of pregnancy. Could PCOS have caused the problem? I didn't know about it at the time. Lori Ward May 28, 2007

I'm sorry to hear about some of the unfortunate circumstances people are discussing here, but I think you might have better luck getting advice from some other forum. The purpose of this discussion page is to talk about how the Wikipedia PCOS article can be improved. Does anyone know of a good site we can refer some of these commenters to?

Cyst Problem!
I was diagnose with pcos when I was 21 years old. I was aware that I would have infirtility problems. I was with my first boyfriend for 7 years and never got pregnant. I got married in 1999 and it took me and my husband 5 years to finally have a baby. We had to get help. My doctor put me on Clemophine. SHe said my body was not ovulating. I took that pill on the last day of my period for 5 days and by the end of next month I was pregnanted. So basically you might want to ask your doctor about the clemophine pills. Good Luck

My wife has been on Metformin for 6 years and we have been trying for 4 yrs to have a baby, but so far e haven't had any luck. The cyst forms and disappears, anyone with similar situation please reply to this comment and if you had any luck haveing a baby with similar problem.

Is it expenses to get pregnant ,went you have Poly cystic ovary syndrome

Alternative Medicine
An abnormal ratio of myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol can be present in PCOS affecting estrogen and androgen levels. In PCOS, MI concentrations are depleted; affecting glucose intake and impairing FSH signaling needed for ovulation. DCI concentrations are increased, leading to an overproduction of androgens. Research shows that a combination of 40:1 molar ratio of myo-inositol (MI) and d-chiro-insositol (DCI) can improve metabolic and hormonal imbalances in PCOS.Kkher (talk) 19:10, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
