In this episode, host Sowjanya asks Dr Chandrika an important question on everyone's minds - Is PCOS a hereditary condition? PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) can have a hereditary component. Research suggests that if a close female relative, like a mother or sister, has PCOS, it increases the likelihood of developing the condition. This indicates a genetic predisposition. However, the exact inheritance pattern is complex and not solely determined by one gene. Environmental factors and lifestyle also play a role. While genetics may contribute, it's not a guarantee that daughters of women with PCOS will definitely develop it. It's advisable for individuals with a family history of PCOS to monitor their health and seek medical advice if they notice any related symptoms. Listen in.
