The Doctor will be the one who initiates the process.

PCOS is generally well managed with changes to diet and sometimes medications. Sometimes the medications may limit deployability and/or require waivers, but there is no specific requirement to refer PCOS for an MEB.

Just focus on healing up, and follow doctors orders. Response by SSG Private RallyPoint Member made Sep 5 at 2021 5:08 PM 2021-09-05T17:08:12-04:00 2021-09-05T17:08:12-04:00 2021-08-19T00:08:57-04:00
