Am I just imagining it?From: Angie (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sun, 7 Apr 2002 19:28:06 -0500 (CDT)
Lately I have been doing a lot of research online to try and figure out why I am having problems with my menstrual cycle, etc. I came across a lot of PCOS websites and I was shocked to find that I have a lot of the signs related to it. By the way, I am only 17 (well I will be in a couple of weeks). I am overweight, have been since I was younger, though. I have excess hair on my body and face. For the most part it is blonde hairs, but they have been getting darker in areas. I have acne, my menstrual cycle is not a monthly thing...they ranges anywhere from 3-14 months apart without having one. I have also read skin discoloration and skin tags are also a sign. I have discoloration everywhere on my body (neck, armpits, between thighs, and other place). I have skin tags in my arm pits and on my elbows. I have been tested for diabetes, but was told I do not have it. Oh, and also, I lose a huge, not normal, amount of hair off my head everyday. I dye my hair quite a bit though, so I am not sure if that has anything to do with it. It is extremely thin. The reason I came here is to ask if it IS a definate possibility that I might have this disease or if my symptoms are so common...that they can't necessarily be linked to PCOS. My mother refuses to take me to see a gynocologist, so I am basically in a bind and I don't know what to do. She says it's only because I am a teenager and I am overweight. It still worries me, so any advice would be very much appreciated! Thanks a lot!
