Open Question: Treatment for PCOS?!?
Hey everyone.
Okay so i’m 14 years old and i have been doing a lot of research on PCOS on google and youtube.
I really do think that i have PCOS. Some of my symptoms are;
-Lots of acne
-Lots of facial hair
-Losing hair from head
-Irregular periods
-headaches
-Fatigue
I heard that this disease can cause very serious things later on in life like heart disease, this REALLY scares me. And also what really concerns me is that my facial hair will get worse and what really worries me is that the facial hair will never go away now because sometimes i wax it i pluck my cheeks and chin sometimes and once you mess with hair it will aways come back no matter what….But who knows, maybe it won’t……?!?!?
Also what really makes me VERY worried is weight gain. Right now i am 5′1, 140 pounds, yes i am about 10 pounds overweight but i don’t believe this is from PCOS because i do eat a lot of junk food so i think this is kind of my fault, but i have to say, i do have trouble losing weight and i know that a lot of people with PCOS can gain A LOT of weight fast…Which would be nightmare if it happened to me….
Anyway, i am going to see my doctor on March 9th and what kind of treatment or method would he give me? And whatever he gives me would it prevent the symptoms of PCOS? Like the facial hair, weight gain and heart disease? I really do NOT want any of this to happen to me what can i do to prevent this from happening? HELP :( !
