There's many procedures that can take care of the cysts on your ovaries without removing your ovaries, tubes, and/or uterus. Assuming that PCOS is your only issue, a hysterectomy is NOT the ideal treatment, since cystic ovaries is only a symptom of the syndrome, not the cause.

That being said, I had a complete hysterectomy and oopharectomy on June 1 and feel fantastic (I'm better two weeks post-op than I was for ten years prior!). HOWEVER, I underwent such drastic measures for definitive treatment of severe endometriosis that had an unusually fast recurrency rate.

Like the other ladies said, it's a life-changing operation that should only be accepted if you understand every way it can impact your future.
