PCOS is not a disease that originates in the ovaries, but in the endocrine system. It is, generally, caused by insulin resistence. Most knowledgeable doctors will not use birth control now, as it only masks the symptoms and does not treat the cause of her problems. And she has the added risks of estrogen, if you had estrogen positive cancer. Please do some reading on the PCOS Section, http://www.obgyn.net/pcos/pcos.asp, and at soulcysters.com. It is important that your daughter gets educated about her disease, and the current treatment options. It is her body, and she needs to be in control of her medical care. Let us know how it goes! luck, SusieQ >I am concerned about my 20 year old daughter. She has been on oral >contraceptives for polycycstic ovarian syndrome for several years ( her >hormone ratio was 5-1). I am a five year survivor of breast cancer ( >diagnosed at age 39)so I am concerned about her taking hormones for most >of her adult life for this syndrome. Any responses are appreciated.
