I am 21 years old female. I have been suffering from pcos for the past 7 years. I have very irregular periods. On top of it I have severe hirsutism. The hair growth on my face is very thick and fast. I have very dark patches across my neck, armpits,groin etc. I also have thyroid. All other tests like ketostreroids, hydroxy progesterone, prolactin,diabetes, dheas etc are found normal. I have also gone for laser treatment for a year but it did not workout. Right now I am using metformin, thyronorm-100 mcg, diane-35 and spironolactone. I have heard that ovarian laparoscopy cures pcos. I just wanted to know if it is recommended for me. Will the surgery also help to reduce facial hair. please help me out. I am really fed up of using medicines. I do have excess weight on which I am working out.

Hello lybrate-user You can go for laparoscopy if you are married. But still laparoscopy is also not 100 % cure for pcos.
