Hi,
This could be polycystic ovarian disease or even due to some thyroid dysfunction. Get your hormone levels and
thyroid function tests done.
These are some of the symptoms of PCOS:
* infrequent menstrual periods, no menstrual periods, and/or irregular bleeding
* infertility or inability to get pregnant because of not ovulating
* increased growth of hair on the face, chest, stomach, back, thumbs, or toes
* acne, oily skin, or dandruff
* pelvic pain
* weight gain or obesity, usually carrying extra weight around the waist
* type 2 diabetes
* high cholesterol
* high blood pressure
* male-pattern baldness or thinning hair
* patches of thickened and dark brown or black skin on the neck, arms, breasts, or thighs
* skin tags, or tiny excess flaps of skin in the armpits or neck area
* sleep apnea?excessive snoring and breathing stops at times while asleep
There is no single test to diagnose PCOS. Your doctor will take a medical history, perform a physical
exam—possibly including an ultrasound, check your hormone levels, and measure glucose, or sugar levels, in the
blood.
Let us know if you need any
other information and post us about what your doctor advises and if you have any
other doubts.
Regards.
