Irregular Periods(Less bleeding) Excessive break out of Acne.

[jas016]

hi Im Jaswinder 26 yr old female having problems with my menses from past 5 yrs. I get my periods on time about every month on the same date or around the last mentrual date . But the bleeding has declined alot. My periods only stay for 2 days and stop after the 2nd day. I have minor spotting for 4-5 days after my periods and it's brown in color. About 3 years ago i got an ultrasound done of my ovaries because i was concerned about the changes in my periods and on the report it was mentioned that i have small follicles in my left ovary and the size of my ovary has increased. Ever since that I didn't get any check up done or didn't consultant with the ob-gyn I had to trouble back to US because I was in India for my education purposes. Then I got busy with work didn't pay much attention. From last year I have had alot of acne on my face,neck,chest,and back..severe dandruff that won't go away with medicated shampoos..hair loss and hair gotten thinner, gaining weight..gained about 7 kgs in a few months . Although I have been working out once or twice a week or sometimes 3-4 times a week and good control on my diet yet no signs of weight loss. I started having facial hair specially on the sides on my face, mustache , and bit hair around nipples. I currently don't have any insurance and I am unemployed. But I am trying to work on the insurance..hopefully i get it soon. Please review my symptoms...somewhere I think It's PCOS. I have been feeling really stressed from few years and having a lot of mood swings too..feeling irritated and depressed most of the times. please help me out

I feel your pain.I'm 26 years old as well and  I am going through the same thing. I am highly irregular. Been like this since i was a teenager. When I do have a cycle I bleed VERY heavily and excessively. Very painful cramps. Birth control did not help.I struggle with cystic acne now. I had 2 ultrasounds done and all they found was ovation cysts and that I have a tilted uterus. I struggle with my weight and it seems like no matter how much I exercise or eat right, I gain weight. I'm now at 200 pounds smh I fluctuate between 180-200. I've been recent diagnosed with eczema and have also noticed thinning and shedding of my hair, especially around edges. And now I'm noticing that I'm starting to sprut hairs on my chin and neck and I noticed a light very faint moustache that was never there before. Its very depressing. Prayers for both of us. My symptoms definitely sound like PCOS as well.
