PCOS but not really?
Posted: Sat Dec 19, 2020 1:50 pm
Hello,
I am new to the forums & am so glad I found this site, because I really wanted to learn more about women's health and also share my experience to get insight / feedback / advice.
I am an 18 year old girl who has experienced irregular periods since I was about 13, along with this I experienced weight gain, feelings of fatigue and a low sex drive. The weight gain isnt severe but I have increased fat storage around the stomach, hips and bum which doesnt feel normal, I am 66kg and healthy weight for my height is 55-60kg. While staying at home for a few months because of the covid outbreak my periods regulated and I got a healthy period every month. I recently returned to work and have not gotten a period for two weeks and am feeling upset and worried again..
I went to the doctor and womens health specialist a year ago where they suspected I may have PCOS. I did tests and my hormones and blood were healthy but then I did an internal examination to find that I do have a number of cysts on my right ovaries.
I want to improve my diet because I know that helps with PCOS but I want to know if theres any advice, tips that can help me with my emotional and physical health
Thanks everyone,
Tiff
