One thing that you can do is to get your daughter to a doctor who is familiar with PCOS and the treatments available. Depending on her symptoms, you may actually want more than one doctor -- an endocrinologist or reproductive endocrinologist and possibly a dermatologist to deal with the acne, excess hair, irregular periods, weight gain, etc. In addition, you should think about the emotional issues that go along with some of the physical issues. As a young woman with PCOS, I was very self conscious about the hair on my face and body and anxious about the irregular periods. Good luck. Ellen
