Do People with PCOS Have More Boys or Girls?

Published in Medical 1 min read

There is no scientific evidence to suggest that people with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) are more likely to have boys or girls.

The sex of a child is determined by the sperm that fertilizes the egg. Sperm carries either an X or a Y chromosome. An X chromosome from the sperm results in a girl, while a Y chromosome results in a boy.

PCOS is a hormonal disorder that can affect ovulation, but it does not influence the sex chromosomes in sperm. Therefore, the chances of having a boy or girl remain the same for individuals with PCOS as for those without it.

The sex of a child is essentially a matter of chance, with a 50% probability of having a boy or a girl.
