I've had Poly-Cystic Ovarian Disorder since I hit puberty, and couldn't even get a doctor to diagnose it for years. Some say it is a generalized term, others say it doesn't exist. But yet millions of women suffer from it every year. Go figure.
The way it was explained to me is that when the egg is ready to pop out of the ovary, it actually is a cyst on the ovary. A chemical in your brain tells the ovary it's time to pop that cyst into the fallopian tube to send it down to the uterus. If you have PCOD, that chemical fails to perform and the egg sits like a cyst on the ovary. The woman may or may not continue to have periods, but no egg is there. The cyst may subside back into the ovary, if it does not, then over a period of many months, the ovary will become covered with cysts.
I live in Houston, with some of the best ob/gyn docs available, and yet, even though I went to 8 doctors in 10 years, it was the 8th doctor who finally explained to me what PCOD is. One doctor did a laparascopy (sp?) on me, and said that each of my ovaries was as big as my uterus, but 6 months later, another doctor said that was untrue. I was seriously confused until I found a site that explained it all to me.
Does your daughter have it? Probably. She can expect hair loss (balding), hair on the face, an inability to lose weight, etc. Do some research and you'll find a group near you that is a support group for PCOD.
good luck!

Hi
A good friend of mine has poly-cystic ovaries, but hers was not diagnosed until she was in her early 20s. She's now 33, and is pregnant with her second baby. I don't know if this helps, but that's at least one positive account of someone with pco.

I had polycystic ovarian disease at a very young age as well. However, my doctor refused to believe that is what I had. I found an article about the disease and that is how I found out what I really had. I am now 32 years old. If there are any other questions I can help you with, be sure to email me.
