This involves a major risk of early metabolic and cardiovascular complications. On the other hand, the prevalence of metabolic disorders associated with insulin resistance is higher in family members of patients with PCOS than in those of normal women, which suggests that the treatment of this syndrome should be preventive rather than symptomatic.
