Missed Periods , Hair Growth, Acne?

I started menstruating at the age of 11, at around the age of 13 my periods because very irregular , i visited the doctor %26amp; he said it was normal, so this continued up until a couple months ago (im 19 now) i saw the doctor about this again last year %26amp; he said it was normal %26amp; that it takes a while to get regulated but i had been menstruating for over 8 years . Now lately I have noticed alot of werid acne %26amp; alot of facial hair growth .. on my chin but my periods are somewhat regular now; but the pms is awful it starts about 2 weeks before i actually start my period %26amp; when i do get my period it goes on for days %26amp; it is so painful i almost cry .. i also have big acne bumps all over my thighs (near my groin area) like there massive almost like pimples but bigger, should i see a doctor about this or is it just a phase? Any help or suggestions, personal stories etc would be greatly appreciated! Thanks : )

You need to see a doctor. You have symptoms of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). Something very similar happened to me. It is treatable with medication and symptoms greatly improve (acne, PMC, hair growth) with treatment. PCOS also causes other types of issues with glucose intolerance and insulin management. Go to your gynocologist. If you have a gynocologist who is also an endocrinolgist, even better.

You need to find a different doctor. You could have a thyroid problem. This diffenantly needs to be delt with. If your doctor won't take you seriously you need to keep trying until you find a doctor who will search for a cure. It could also be a hormone imbalance. Good luck.

PCOS is a possibility, but it's not uncommon for girls with naturally high levels of testosterone to have all those symptoms.

Go back to the doctor and ask him to run tests for free testosterone levels and estrogen levels. Ask about PCOS in particular.

He may not be keen to do too much at 19. Or he may simply suggest birth control pills to up your estrogen levels so that the testosterone will be kept better under control and the beard growth slowed down.
