Dr. Gerard Honore answered

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Yes: Pcos is genetic, though lifestyle factors contribute to improving or worsening symptoms. The most important thing is a solid diagnosis. Dietary changes with or without medicine can be helpful sometimes. Talk with your wife's doctor about specifics.
