Hi, mayette:

I'm helping Alison do some research on this subject for you, and I have a few questions:

Are you at normal or over weight?

Has your last GYN said anything about PCOS (or Stein-Leventhal Syndrome)?

What is your eating regimen like now?

Are you diabetic?

Do any of the conditions listed on this page pertain to you?

Your best bet is to be very up front with your current doctor and give her a chance to look deeper into your condition. While we all tend to seek a second opinion, unless you really aren't comfortable or confident that your doctor is acting in your best interest (which I would find hard to believe, as she is also a woman), make sure you give her as much information as possible.

One of my sisters had ovarian cysts (and had her ovary removed). She was on a mostly vegetarian, macrobiotic diet for a couple of years while regaining her health. This means eating fresh, whole foods, eliminating refined sugars and flour, eating whole grains and basically avoiding "white" foods (refined sugar, flour, bread, potatoes, rice).

Hope this helps and please do stay in touch with us and let us know how you're doing and what you learn from your doctor.
