Re: 14-year-old daughter with ovarian cyst From: Belle (anonymous@obgyn.net) Sat, 24 Jun 2000 20:41:13 -0500 (CDT) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Michelle: "A test we should all get" Previous message: Judy: "Belle and Angela Re: Update on my GTT" In reply to: Gisele: "14-year-old daughter with ovarian cyst" My daughter is 13. She has been on Glucophage (1500 mg/day) since the end of November. Her period has regulated and her moods have been SO much better (hmmm, I wonder how I acted before Glucophage...). She did not have the excess hair except in the small of her back. This has almost totally disappeared. I would not recommend the birth control pill unless the patient is sexually active. The pill has many unwanted side effects that are bad: weight gain, facial hair, hair loss, etc. I would not have put my child on this even if the endo had recommended it. I believe that you will find that many women first found their symptoms after going on the pill or after going off the pill. I really have found this to be a consistant story. Your daughter is very lucky to have a mom who is doing research to find out the best treatment. Good luck to both of you! P.S. BTW, if you have a son who is reaching adolescence, you may want to have his insulin levels checked also. This is a non-discriminatory gene.
