Thank you for your reply. Is it dangerous if she delayed in being medicated?? Or in other words does the problem become worse with time?

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
If indeed you sister has organic causes for the menstrual period irregularities, particularly polycystic ovary syndrome, the answer would be yes, since this syndrome influences many body organs and may lead to a number of complications, mainly insulin resistance, or to metabolic syndrome, a conglomeration of disorders characterized by a co-occurrence of three out of five of the following
medical conditions: abdominal (central) obesity, elevated blood pressure,
elevated fasting plasma glucose, high serum triglycerides, and low high-density
cholesterol (HDL) levels. Metabolic syndrome increases the risk of developing
cardiovascular disease, particularly heart failure, and diabetes. So yes, early detection and treatment (if required) is definitely required to prevent such complications from happening.
