Re: Endometriosis and acne!!!!From: Amy (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sun, 2 Jul 2000 21:58:05 -0500 (CDT)
Donna, I'm no doctor... but it sounds like you too could have PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome).Check out a website http://www.pcosupport.org..this was very helpful to me. I have just been diagnosed. My symptoms were obesity, adult acne, irregular and sometimes absent periods etc.. Hope this helps!
