Do I Have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome?? ?
Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009I’m 16 and when I was reading about this I have most of the symptoms
The ones I have are…
increased hair growth on the face, chest, stomach, back, thumbs, or toes—a condition called hirsutism (HER-suh-tiz-um) (i have alot of hair like on my chest inbetween my breasts and no other girls have that, it’s so embarresing :O)
acne, oily skin, or dandruff
weight gain or obesity, usually carrying extra weight around the waist
(i find it hard to lose the weight too)
male-pattern baldness or thinning hair (my hair is kind of thin now but they may be because of layers in my hair)
anxiety or depression (not been diagnosed)
And I usually have trouble sleeping
I don’t want to go to the doctor, I know I should though. Could there be anything else wrong with me?
Also if I did have it, will I ever be able to have kids?
If you want to know more just ask
Thanks
Does Major Weight Loss Cure Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome?
Saturday, October 24th, 2009I am very much obese and have all the horrible side effects of PCOS: the excess facial/body hair, some male pattern baldness, darkened skin on the back of my neck, underarms, inner thighs, acne, etc. I also have what is known as Metabolic Syndrome. If I was to become a healthy weight for my age (27), would this cure or drastically reduce the effects of my PCOS or am I doomed to suffer with this condition for the rest of my life?
