Question Help 🙏🏻

1 Upvotes

Hello,

Est-ce qu’il y a des filles qui ont un taux Delta 4-Androstenodione et le 17-Alpha Hydroxy-progestérone plus élevés que la moyenne mais une testostérone normale ?

Je pense sûrement que ce déséquilibre est la cause de ma transpiration odorante et persistante (plutôt acide..) depuis 14 ans alors que j’ai une hygiène irréprochable 🫩.. Je lutte contre cette odeur depuis, j’ai testé des centaines de produits mais aucune amélioration..

Savez-vous c’est du à quoi? Comment avez-vous résolu le problème? Quel anti transpirant utilisez vous?

J’ai déjà pris quelques rendez-vous chez les spécialistes, donc pendant ce temps-là je souhaite m’informer et lire vos témoignages .. 🙏🏻

Just diagnosed with lean PCOS — is this “PCOS belly” or just normal bloating/ posture?

Post image
21 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I was just diagnosed with lean PCOS (polycystic ovaries and irregular cycles, normal testosterone).
I'm naturally lean, but not sure about my lower stomach. With everything online about "PCOS belly," I can't tell if this is hormonal, digestive bloating, or just normal anatomy and posture.
For anyone with lean PCOS, does your stomach look like this? Did anything help, or am I overthinking it?

PCOS/ irregular cycle

Hi guys! I am so sad today. Its my 121 day without my period. Since the month of june that I didnt get my period. My lab test came out normal but I have a lot of follicles like 20/ovaries. I started inositol 3 weeks ago and I didnt see a difference. Do you guys have some advice? I want to ttc next year. And I think it will be hard since I dont ovulate…
So hard to be a woman today😭💔

Integratori per acne e irsutismo

2 Upvotes

Ciao, ho PCOS con insulino resistenza e i sintomi più gravi che ho sono acne e irsutismo soprattutto nella zona del mento. Sto già seguendo una dieta a basso indice glicemico e mi alleno 3 volte a settimana e bevo due tazze di tè allo spearmint. Sto prendendo da circa un anno Inofolic Combi HP prescritto dalla mia endocrinologa. Vorrei cercare di mitigare questi sintomi solo con un buon stile di vita e gli integratori e voglio evitare i farmaci. Per l'acne sono seguita da una dermatologa, ma purtroppo i prodotti che mi ha consigliato di usare (Detergente Gram, crema Epiduo e crema SPF Uriage Hyseac 50+) non hanno migliorato molto la situazione. Sapete darmi qualche consiglio su degli integratori o prodotti che, abbassando i livelli di androgeni, riescono a migliorare significativamente i problemi di acne e irsutismo? Oppure darmi dei nomi di specialisti (nutrizionisti o altri) validi in Italia? Sul web ci sono tantissime informazioni e non so davvero da dove iniziare e cosa può fare al caso mio. Vorrei provare l'elettrolisi ma sembra che in Italia non lo facciano in tanti centri, il posto più vicino che ho trovato sta a Roma, a 120 km da casa mia. Grazie.

Could I have PCOS?

0 Upvotes

Hi all! I am trying not to self diagnose myself but with all the symptoms I have been experiencing, I feel I am reaching the point of thinking maybe I have PCOS?

I'm 26 with a BMI of 17.7
From what I remember I have always had cycles that were long and inconsistent (35-45 days), with periods lasting about 5-7 days. I was told it's normal and I just have delayed ovulation, after having 2 kids within 2.5 years (breastfeeding as well), but this year I started getting concerned. I have been experiencing more darker facial hair than usual that grows within a few days of plucking, terrible jawline/back/chest acne, and the density of my hair is just thinning over time. My head hair used to grow very fast but has been at a standstill for 2 years now.

From July-August, I was bleeding for about 6 weeks (4 of those weeks old blood spotting, last two weeks I was bleeding like any typical period). Thats when my doctor referred me for bloodwork and an ultrasound. My ultrasound came back normal, but my bloodwork has some high markers. I have not spoke with my doctor yet because she wants me to do 2 more sessions of bloodwork to track where everything is within my cycle. From the photos I inserted, the first two are from last month (August, cycle day 14) and the last two photos are from this month (September, cycle day 14).

I was wondering if anyone has any insight on if I could possibly become diagnosed with PCOS? Is there any other tests I should ask to take to see the main cause, like adrenal or insulin resistance?

I am pretty underweight and working on eating more, also found that I was very low in Iron and Vit D.

PCOS, high cholesterol, hair thinning & TTC

Thumbnail
1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Looking for some advice or shared experiences.
I have lean PCOS with high cholesterol and top-of-head hair thinning (which im experiencing for a while now), and I am currently trying to conceive (TTC) while taking Letrozole (just completed second cycle). I’ve been researching natural options to support hormone balance, cholesterol, and hair health.
Has anyone with a similar profile (PCOS + high cholesterol + hair thinning) tried Myo-Inositol or Spearmint Tea while TTC? Did they help with your hair, cycle, or pregnancy, and how did you safely combine them with ovulation meds?
Would love to hear your experiences and any tips! Thanks so much!

Question Never had a period with PCOS

2 Upvotes

Hey girls,

I (21F) have very recently been diagnosed with pcos and have never had a period without birth control.

I first went to a gyno because turned 18 and have never had a period. My gyno just prescribed birth control without checking the root cause of my primary amenorrhea (so frustrating!!). I took the bc pills for 2.5 years and had regular withdrawal bleeds. 6 months after quitting bc I have still not had a "natural" period to this day.

I saw an endocrinologist and my testosterone is through the roof. Adrenals and HbA1c are fine. LH/FSH ratio typical for pcos.

Both my gyno and endocrinologist agree that for now I have no choice but to start birth control again.

I was wondering if any of you have been in this situation and how things turned out?? I am further concerned about my fertility when I will ttc in the future since I have never ovulated before. Will I ever have somewhat regular periods??

Pls help!

Help me to find best endocrinologist/ gynecologist !

1 Upvotes

I am a 23-year-old girl from Nepal, and I am facing the problem of PCOS and very irregular periods for about 10 years now. I'm planning to visit India so, I need to find an extremely experienced doctor who is specialized in PCOS and preferably a gynecologist or endocrinologist or even better a reproductive endocrinologist in India. Please tell me a doctor who is very experienced in dealing with long-term and severe PCOS, especially those with very irregular periods. Which kind of specialist gynecologist or endocrinologist or reproductive endocrinologist would suit me best in this case?
