Are these sign of PCOS?

Question

PCOS?" /> I started growing excessive body hair on my lower abdomen when I was around 10-11. It's really thick, and looks like a males "happy trail" or whatever it's called.

I started my period when I was 11, and I am currently 15. My period is sometimes irregular and I sometimes miss a whole period.

I am also a little overweight, but I don't know if that would be connected to this. Thank you for all the help and answers. I don't have a female figure in my life so I really appreciate it! :)

Answer

Do you have any other symptoms?

Answer

Your doctor can do some blood tests to check your levels of estrogen, testosterone and others, which will help with a diagnosis.  It helps greatly with PCOS to lose weight, by controlling how much sugar (all carbs) you eat because of the insulin resistance part of PCOS.  It's a hard diagnosis to hear, but it's so much better than it once was, and you can lead a very full and happy life with it under control. I was 22 and am 35 now. Best of luck!!

Answer

Just call your doctor, he/she can find out if you have pcos. Before I knew I had pcos, I sometimes did not have a one period for a whole year. I also had hair growing around my bellybottom, so your symptoms do sound familiar to me.

Just give you doctor  a call to know for sure! 😌 oh btw, I was 17 when I was diagnoses, and I'm 19 right now

Answer

You could definitely talk to your primary care if you worried about it.... But your still young, your body is still adjusting to all of the hormones. My period was still irregular at that point and didn't get diagnosed with PCOS till I was 23
