Hi,
Just to clarify; not everyone with PCOS has Cystic Ovaries. That's just one symptom of many that could indicate the syndrome. I have had both ovaries removed because of horrific cysts, but my sister, also with the syndrome, doesn't get the cysts.
Check out the book: "PCOS The Hidden Epidemic" by Endocrinologist Samuel Thatcher.
The name Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is one of the reasons it's so hard to get a diagnosis; it's a misnomer that most GP's use as a dagnostic tool.
