Can a girl really say to her father, “You’re the reason”?
Is it possible that the father—not the mother—is actually responsible for his daughter’s illness? 😒
Recent studies confirm the existence of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) in males, due to inheriting the gene responsible for the condition from a mother with PCOS. Because of this genetic presence, a father can pass on the condition to his daughter 🤷.
So, it’s not necessarily inherited only from the mother or her side of the family — the father may also pass it down.
📍But are there any signs that show whether the father carries the PCOS gene or not?
A father may not only be a carrier but also show similar symptoms, such as hormonal and metabolic disturbances, early-onset male pattern baldness, excess body hair growth, or acne.
He’s also more prone to cardiovascular and metabolic disorders — genetically predisposed to insulin resistance, obesity, and type 2 diabetes.
📍Having PCOS-like traits may also predispose men to prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia, or prostatitis later in life.
The bottom line 🙏:
Early-onset androgenic alopecia (baldness) is a major visible sign of male PCOS — meaning a boy who starts balding very young.
The high prevalence of early balding in men from families with PCOS-affected women supports the theory of genetic transmission.
So just as a man may have inherited the gene from his mother, there’s a strong chance he’ll pass it on to his daughter.
Also, increased adrenal gland activity may cause fertility issues.
There’s evidence that men with moderate to severe early-onset baldness also suffer from reduced semen quality, similar to how women with PCOS may have poor egg quality.
📍Losing body weight has highly beneficial effects on male PCOS, including lowering androgen levels, improving insulin sensitivity, and reducing risks of cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes.
