I was diagnosed with polysystic ovarian a couple of days ago. I am having incredible pain from time to time in my groins and lower abdomen. I started birth control pills today to regulate my menstrual flow. I know this doesn’t cure my condition and that the menstrual cycle will become abnormal again once I stop. I don’t know if they will help me get rid of the pain. What I would like to know is if I will have to undergo a surgery. Thank you
I think that surgery is recommended when you would like to induce ovulation. It is not recommended as the first course of treatment. During the surgery, a small incision above or below the navel is made, and a small instrument inserted. This instrument serves as telescope into the abdomen. A doctor punctures the ovary with a small needle that carries an electric current to destroy a small portion of the ovary. There is a risk of developing scar tissue on the ovary.

You wont have to have the operation until you are trying for kids and havent been able to fall pregnant naturally. Would love to hear from anyone. Thanks
