A member asked:
What about removing one of the 2 ovaries in a pcos woman to manage symptoms and suppress the testosterone production?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Would not work: Removing one of the ovaries would not help the underlying cause of PCOS. Ovarian drilling is a surgery that sometimes done to help with ovulation. Weight loss is key if the PCOS patient is overweight to correct the underlying hormonal imbalance
