    Hi friends,

    I am 22 years old. I am over weighted. My height is 153cm and my weight is 67kg :-(. I am few extra pounds from my childhood. But last 2 years i got over weighted. I have severe hair growth around navel and breast. I have facial hair too. From the above symptoms i concluded i am suffering from PCOS. But my doubt is, My periods are regular. What shall i do now? I feel shy to consult a gynecologist. Can it be cured? how to remove those hairs and stop growing. How to reduce weight?
    And please refer any good Gynecologist in Coimbatore/ Tirunelveli.

    thanks in adv...

    HI

    As long as you have regular periods, may be it is not PCOS..

    But you need have a check up once with Gynec..


    There is nothing to be ashamed off, afterall Gynec also is a women..
    Dont ignore, better to consult once...

    This line is not true .......You may have PCOS even if you have regular period ...Do consult a doctor to confirm

    My doctor told me that if your periods are regular then you dont have to worry much about PCOS...Facial hair is an indication that you have PCOS

    Do exercise/food control to reduce your weight and try to get it in normal BMI range

    facial hairs or irregular periods may necessarily not be a case of PCOS could be just a harmone imbalance. If it is in initial level can be treated quickly. Anyway it is always good to shed those extra pounds.

    These days you have lot of lady gynaecologists available everywhere. So no need to shy. Check here for gynaecologists........

    There is nothing to be sad of ,its common now ....Just follow a proper diet and exercise daily

    Regarding Facial hair .... you can buy a epilator ( google for more info) so that you can use it at home on your own .....

    Dear Shinara,

    PCOS occurs due to disturbance in the hormones. This can cause fluctuation in sugar levels, growth of facial and body hair.

    Your doctor should have prescribed medicines, until which you can manage hair growth with waxing, shaving and depilatory creams. There is laser hair removal and electrolysis which are a bit expensive..

    If you need to tackle this problem quickly, chin up, and take heart, since it is simply a phase..

    Good luck!
