Hey moms, please get your daughters checked for PCOS
If your daughter struggled with irregular periods, unexplained weight gain, or persistent breakouts, would you dismiss it as typical teen hormones, or would you recognise the signs of something deeper? According to the World Health Organisation, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) affects up to 13% of women of reproductive age, yet as many as 70% remain undiagnosed, suffering in silence. As a mom, however, you have the power to change that.
What are the symptoms of PCOS?
PCOS is a hormonal condition that impacts the ovaries, metabolism, and even mental health. Most sufferers have an underlying issue with processing insulin—the hormone that helps the body store and convert carbohydrates into energy.
Symptoms include:
· Irregular periods
· Acne
· Thinning hair or excessive hair growth
· Weight gain
· Fatigue
· Mood swings, anxiety, and depression
· Insulin resistance, which increases the risk of diabetes
If left unchecked, PCOS can affect fertility and long-term health, which is why early diagnosis - something you can assist with - is key.
Why it’s important that moms recognise the signs
Many young women don’t realise their symptoms could be linked to PCOS. That’s why it’s so important for moms to recognise the warning signs and step in to advocate for their daughters’ health.
If you suspect your daughter has PCOS, make an appointment with a trusted doctor or gynaecologist for a proper diagnosis. Testing typically involves a painless pelvic ultrasound and a panel of blood tests.
Once diagnosed, treatment is tailored to her specific symptoms. Her doctor may also recommend lifestyle changes, including dietary tweaks that might seem small, but can make a big impact. You can further support your daughter’s health with a clinically formulated supplement like Ovaria by Lamelle Pharmaceuticals.
What is Ovaria?
Ovaria is specifically designed for women struggling with PCOS. It contains the recommended daily dose of Myoinositol, a powerful, all-natural compound that helps regulate insulin, support ovarian function, and restore hormonal balance. Studies show that Ovaria can significantly improve PCOS symptoms - from normalising menstrual cycles to reducing acne and stabilising weight fluctuations.
Beyond Ovaria, Lamelle has also launched My PCOS Support - a platform providing expert advice, delicious low GI “insulin savvy” recipes and a supportive community for all women navigating this condition. Because no one should have to figure this out alone.

With the right guidance, knowledge and care, PCOS is very manageable. Still, as a switched-on mom, you can make all the difference.
