Can surgery treat PCOS?
The removal of ovarian cysts is not an effective way to treat PCOS. Cysts on the ovaries are the result of hormone imbalances that begin with the production of too much insulin. This over-abundance of insulin causes an increase in male hormones called androgens or testosterone, which eventually create the cysts. As a result, removing the cysts does not remove the problem, just a symptom. Moreover, numerous research studies have observed what happens when the ovaries or just the cysts are removed, and PCOS continues.
