20 with PCOS

Is it normal for a 20 year old to have PCOS? I have hair on my chin and neck. I also have irregular periods (skips a month or two sometimes. Comes on different days)

Do I have PCOS or is this just something common for my age?

I developed my symptoms in my teens. It’s genetic so can show up any time.

Sorry sweetie. It sounds like PCOS to me. I have it and I'm 38. I've had it since my first period. I do get dark chin hairs and hair on my knuckles and toes too. My cousin has it worse with like a beard. She has to shave her face! With my experience I feel like u just have to do a lot of research because there r lots of ways to minimize the testosterone entering ur body. Ur diet needs to change and u may need to lose some weight. But I highly recommend researching it because u r not alone and there r ways to combat it. U r in control! U got this

Would need to have some tests run to know for sure. But I was diagnosed at 18. It’s definitely possible.
