Poly cystic ovarian syndrome question.. a little scared?
I just turned 18 recently and I’ve struggled with acne and excessive hair growth for years. I was taking medication for my acne from my dermatologist and dealing with the hair growth problems through Laser hair removal. I was told to take a blood test to see whether I had Polycystic ovarian syndrome and the blood test showed that it was negative. However, I’m currently on vacation in India and our family dermatologist here claims that PCOS can only be diagnosed through sonography or ultrasound. I also noticed that my hair has started thinning out but my periods seem rather normal and i dont think i’m excessively overweight by any means (I weigh around 128 and I’m 5’3) but some medical websites stated that fat distribution with this disease tends to lie mainly in the stomach area and the thighs.
1) Who should I contact for a test for this, a gynecologist an endocrinologist or retake the blood test through my physician?
2) Is this disease lethal and are the statements about it being the cause of permanent infertility true?
Possible ovarian cyst with continuous brown discharge?
I’ve had the thick brown discharge for a while now. In the end of november i had laser surgery to remove high grade abnormal cells on cervix. i dont know if thats related to current prob tho. End of december I experienced a sharp sudden pain on lower right abdomen during sex. thought it was a fluke but the same pain recurred during the next 2x having sex. Went to gyn and he said I had possibly ruptured an ovarian cyst during sex (he hadnt detected cyst b4). Was referred to a sonogram (still waiting for the past two weeks for those results). In the meantime i had a period that was a week late. After the period finished I had thick brown discharge that has appeared (significantly) every day for a month until now, when I began my period again today (on time this time) (still a bit brown tho, but its just the beginning). I’m worried that it may be endometriosis or another cyst or something on my uterus.anyone have any thoughts? thought i’d ask while i wait for ultrasound results.
