The hormonal inbalance is no surprise.
The fact that your daughter has an hormonal inbalance was very obvious based on this history. I am not sure what treatment was suggested that has you so concerned, but adrenal or ovarian excess of androgens can have a devastating effect on a young girl. All medications have potential adverse effects. The key is to weigh the possibility of a rare risk to the potential of treating a medical problem. I urge you to explore treatments for your daughter.
