A member asked:
I have pcos. my doctor told me that with pcos there is an almost certain chance i will get ovarian cancer. is this true? what can i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not true: There is no such prediction that i kniow off. I know that the risk is no where close to 100%. I would not worry about it. Yet make life style changes because there are risks, other than cancer, which are more common in folks with pcos. So you should eat healthy(low fat, high protein diet) and get your weight down close to normal by doing daily walking/exercise as much as possible. This will help y.
