man this kind of throw back medical procedures piss me off...
They used to give women hysterectomy for tons of very minor and stupid reasons...and some doctors never got over this. I mean I don't here them loping off penis's/testicles because men get kidney stones, or whatever.
i think it's barbaric.
okay.. you need a 2nd opinion, defiantly.
Cutting out your reproductive organs for cysts is like cutting off your hand because of arthritis. Or removing your stomach because you have ulcers. If you came in already knowing you had pcos why was finding cysts on your ovaries shocking to him? That's like being surprised that the sky is blue. and you were not on birth control, were you on anything else to help with your pcos symptoms? this guy sounds like a goober.
I understand some women have problems like endo so bad there is no alternative, but you're having minor abdominal pain, not constant bleeding, or what have you.
i think you are having anxiety over this for a GOOD reason. trust your instincts, hell get your endo dr to suggest someone for you to go see. (btw the endo is 2nd oppenion so you're really getting a 3rd.) |
