My daughter who will turn 11 in a week, is seeing a specialist at a children's hospital. She has cystic ovaries with elavated testosterone and has med.to severeacne. She developed early, pubic hair and breast early in 1st and 2nd gradeShe always had acne if just became more severe in 3rd grade. She's not overweight but she is a big girl, she's very athletic, playing competative soccer 2x a week and basketball, she 94 pounds at 4feet 11 inches. I haven't found any material on girls her age that have pcos, her endocrinologist is even a little shock that she has this at such an early age. Can you give me any information about pcos and girls 11ys old with this. > >Cysts on the ovaries (not PCOS) are usually caused by fluid in the ovary >follicle.
