I was diagonsed with Pcos last spring due to irregular periods, acne and extra weight around my waist that just wont go. I have also had intense pain ever since I started having periods, my doctor in Wales said that it was nothing to worry about it's just the syndrome and gave me Mefanamic Acid for pain relief, I thought nothing of it and took the pills.
unfortunatly I was recently admitted to hospital for other reasons but they seemed to think it was connected gyaenacologically one doctor even guessed that I may have PID (luckly they were wrong) but then I was talking to the doctor who discharged me and he suddenly drop the bomb shell that i shouldn't get pain with Pcos. Mad

So now i'm totally confused, any advice or suggestions is very welcome? baffle

According to webMD, pain is a symptom of PCOS. Especially if you actually have any cysts. But it's worth talking to a doctor about- and especially talking with a doctor about ways to treat the PCOS and not just the pain. You don't want to be on pain medication the rest of your life!!
