Hi Beth
Thank you so much for your reply. It seems to raise a few questions for me which I do not expect you to answer. I wonder why you would still have PCOS if both ovaries had been removed. It seems odd too that you gained weight and your blood pressure elevated due to bike riding!! Also I wonder if Spironolactone is ever used just for symptoms of PCOC but not high blood pressure. I feel like we all have to be on the look-out for info. re our various problems because sometimes I think the doctors do not know everything!! This forum is great as we can share info. and maybe learn
more. Again my sincere thanks for your long and interesting post.

I truly believe (my personal opinion) it is more of an endocrine issue than simply an issue with female hormones. Even after a hysterectomy, you still can have issues with the thyroid, pituitary glad, etc. There is still much to learn and understand about all of this. As for the Spironolactone, when I found it on the web, it was talking about being used for those of use with PCOS, then further explained to also be used for blood pressure. So from what I read, yes, it can be used for PCOS even if you do not need blood pressure medicine but I am sure they will want to monitor the person to make sure that does not cause any issues like bringing your blood pressure too low. Hope this helps.
