I have two older daughters and they do not have the same features. She is 5'8" and weighing around 240 lbs. The only thing is she doesn't have the irregular cyles. But had her gall bladder removed several months ago, along with a huge cyst on one of her ovaries. And still complains of pain in her side. Would someone please help me with this. I am a very concerned mother.

What kind of doctor does your daughter see? She should probably be seen by a gyn who has lots of experience/knowledge about PCOS. A lot of ladies have found great success with limiting or eliminating processed carbs. Metformin worked great for me, also. Check this link:
