A member asked:
What is ovarian drilling? when is it necessary? will all pco women require it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
PCOS "drilling": Ovarian "drilling" of PCOS patients is often done to reduce the number of ovarian inhibitory follicles to allow the ovary to "resume normal ovulatory function". In the past, wedge resections of the ovary were done before medication options have been found to be just if not more effective.
