Hi, I just wondered if someone had their oavaries drilled to rid exccessive cysts.

1.) Do the cysts typically come back?

2.) Ovarian Drilling is listed as a one time treatment for fertility reasons.

3.) Is this supposed to be a permant treatment?

4.) Have found nothing for drilling related to treatment to manage cysts/pcos.
Only things available are for those looking to concieve.

I went to the gynecologist on Friday. She said that getting the cysts removed wouldn't be very helpful. I thought removing them might make my hair grow back and my acne go away. I was very upset to know that it wouldn't work. I don't want to rely on meds for the rest of my life.
