Only 24 years old
I'm only 24 and I've read the signs and symptoms and I have alot of them. My MD briefly mentioned that it sounded like I was having early menopause but I didn't take her seriously. I'm only 24 there has to be some other issue. She put me on the pill for birth control and I haven't been to her since. I'd like to know what you all think. I just started the pill but it's low estrogen so it didn't help with any symptoms yet. I want to have more estrogen right?? I'm at a loss here. These are my symptoms from most troublesome to least troublesome:
Excess facial hair (big time), loss of libido, painful dry intercourse, irregular periods(before the pill), fatigue, breast tenderness at odd times of the month, slight incontinence and more frequent urination, mood swings, depression, ADD, sudden flushness and rosy cheeks, restless sleep, hot and cold through the night, bloating, constipation, achy joints in legs, especially the hip (this just started to occur), tinnitus, and sometimes I have a hard to explain tingling sensation in my back and neck area.
Would you all recommend that I see someone about this? Here is my BIGGEST issue. I've seen docs before about the facial hair because it's really embarrasing and I can't pay $350 per treatment for laser hair removal especially since she said women with my amount of facial hair have seen results in up to 6 treatments, She also said that it was unusal that someone my age would have the amount of hair that I do. It's such an issue for me I hide my face all the time because of the red bumps from removal, or the stubble I will get at the end of the day. Or the few obvious strays that I know I missed but everyone else can see. I'd really like to get to the "root" of the problem because IT'S NOT NORMAL. Who do I see about this. I've been to a registered Physicians Assistant and she gave it more thought than a Doctor, who gave it more thought than a Dermotologist all of which I had to see without a referrall or recommendation. I've had my TSH checked and it's WNL but something is clearly wrong with my horomones and it's affecting the quality of my life and my self esteem. Who the hell do I see about this????

There are several ways they can check for it. You should see a gynecolegist since it does concern your overies. This condition is usually helped by regulating you hormones.
