[QUOTE="Star*, post: 340676, member: 4964"] [B]What are the symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)?[/B] Not all women with PCOS share the same symptoms. These are some of the symptoms of PCOS: [LIST] [*]infrequent menstrual periods, no menstrual periods, and/or irregular bleeding [*]infertility (not able to get pregnant) because of not ovulating [*]increased hair growth on the face, chest, stomach, back, thumbs, or toesa condition called hirsutism (HER-suh-tiz-um) [*]ovarian cysts [*]acne, oily skin, or dandruff [*]weight gain or obesity, usually carrying extra weight around the waist [*]insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes [*]high cholesterol [*]high blood pressure [*]male-pattern baldness or thinning hair [*]patches of thickened and dark brown or black skin on the neck, arms, breasts, or thighs [*]skin tags, or tiny excess flaps of skin in the armpits or neck area [*]pelvic pain [*]anxiety or depression due to appearance and/or infertility [*]sleep apneaexcessive snoring and times when breathing stops while asleep [/LIST] If they thought it was an ovarian cyst I'm surprised they didn't: Do an ultra sound - but then again the cysts can be the size of a pin head Order a pelvic ultrasound to make sure it isn't a tumor or some other problem. Do blood glucose tests for diabetes. PCOS is serious. I think I'd be asking for a second opinion. [/QUOTE]
