A member asked:
Are there any surgeries or procedures that can be performed to remove cysts with pcos to increase fertility?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ovarian drilling: This is not a common procedure, as most doctors prefer to treat pcos with medications, diet, exercise, supplements, and even acupuncture. However, laparoscopic ovarian drilling can provide temporary cycle regularity, and improve fertility. There is some risk, however, that the procedure can shorten the normal life of the ovary and reduce fertility in the distant future.
