Ann" I saw a wonderful doctor at the University of Michigan who has studied PCOS a great deal and he informed me that my PCOS comes from my dads side of the family and that even men can have it (without the cyst of course). One of my brothers has almost all the same problems as I do and had similiar blood test and all his testosterone levels were high. He also has a lot of trouble losing weight, he is very hairy and has acne and sleep problems etc... My doc told me that it is hereditary and children of parents with PCOS have a 25-50% chance of having it also. I would get all your girls checked. -- Ann At Thu, 10 Apr 2003, Leigh wrote: > >PCOS can definitely be hereditary.  That's why alot of us have family members with a history of Diabetes.  There is no telling how many mothers and grandmothers had this and didn't know.  Next message: 'ms_amy': "Gluophage (metformin)" Previous message: Hannah: "UK - Campaign for Laser/IPL Treatment on NHS for PCOS Sufferers" In reply to: Leigh: "Re: Can my daughters have PCOS?"
