    A lot of women have pcos. They reckon it affects one in five women in UK. I would not thought having your ovaries removed a good idea.

      You should not have pain from the pcos, it must be something else such as a cyst or ovulation. Have you talked to a doctor about it, if not I should?

    Who told you that if you have not talked to a doctor?    Dont know how old you are or if you have a family but obviously this would remove any chance of pregnancy.
