I was just diagnosed with PCOS a couple months ago and one of the main reasons i was tested was because of irregular periods, acne and most of all FATIGUE. I have went through hundreds of other tests for the fatigue and all have been negative. Now the OBGYN i was sent to said fatigue isnt a symptom of PCOS but im having a hard time accepting thaf. I will be going back to my normal dr to discuss this further aa my fatigue controls my life!
According to my doctor, per recent labs, I am not hypothyroid. I suspect I am perimenopausal, because of my age and how my period is getting shorter.
Hello,
PCOS is not responsible for all these symptoms. You need to get hypothyroidism also ruled out. symptoms of hypothyroidism are fatigue, depression, weight gain, cold intolerance, dry, coarse hair and skin, constipation ,muscle cramps, decreased concentration, vague aches and pains, menstrual disorders, palpitation and swelling of the legs.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
