Polycystic ovaries And its Genetic Assosiations
Today I saw a patient ,young girl 26 years old with sub fertility due to irregular periods diagnosed as polycystic ovaries 5 years ago.she had a delayed menarche at 16 years ,her mother was a diabetic with a similar menstrual cycle pattern.Her sister also has her cycles once in 2-4 months .I realised how strong genetic penetration is ,when it comes to aggressive polycystic ovaries.Clearly her sister needs attention before marriage .Surprisingly this particular girl had a history of depression as well which again is a problem with her mother as well.Depression associated with PCOS is a rarer entity!
