5 Signs Your Daughter Might Have PCOS

Millions of women suffer from PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome); in fact, doctors estimate that anywhere from ten to thirty percent of women of childbearing age have the disorder, making it the most prevalent of all women’s hormonal disorders. But what is truly disturbing to many women and to mothers in particular is that this insidious condition can emerge in their daughters at a fairly young age. Indeed, any girl who is old enough to have her period is old enough for PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) to appear. There are recorded cases of this health condition in girls as young as 11.

And to be sure, no mother wants to see her daughter afflicted with this condition. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a truly rocky hormonal disorder, one that’s rooted in Insulin Resistance. Because it is caused by variations in the hormones, the symptoms can be numerous. Knowing what the initial signs of this syndrome are can help you to be wary and vigilant, ensuring that your daughter does not have this condition–and that if she does, you get her treatment as soon as possible.

 

Does Your Daughter Have PCOS?

 So what are the common signs that your adolescent daughter might have PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome)? Here are five common ones:

  • Irregular periods, which could mean periods that come at unusual intervals, periods that don’t come very often, or, in some cases, the complete absence of a period
  • Hair growth on the face or body
  • Skin problems, including acne or dark patches of skin
  • Excess weight gain, or trouble losing weight–including, in some cases, obesity
  • Baldness, or thinning hair, especially on the top of the head

 

What to Do

 A good rule of thumb if your daughter has two or more of the conditions above, is to have her checked out for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). Keep in mind, however, that this diagnosis is no reason to lose hope. Actually, it can be treated simply by reversing Insulin Resistance. This is done by eating a proper, nutrient-rich diet, and ensuring plenty of regular exercise. You can encourage your daughter to make these healthy modifications to her lifestyle, and ultimately help her reverse this condition fully.

The other thing women and adolescent girls suffering Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) might do is to look into the Insulite Health 5 Element PCOS System that is available. In particular, the PCOS System offers hormone-balancing effects that have been scientifically calibrated to reverse the condition. That means there is hope for women who properly educate themselves and take the precautions necessary to thwart the effects of the disease, including modifications of diet and exercise.
