I would suggest that you see either an internal medicine physician,
family physician, endocrinologist, or gynecologist. It sounds like you
might have a milder form or congenital adrenal hyperplasia (also called
CAH for short). There are several types of this condition. It's also
possible you have polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Regardless, it's
actually fairly easy to perform a physical exam and get some blood work,
which should pin down a diagnosis. Treatment very often works, but you
have to know which condition you are treating. Best wishes.
