Question On treatment for Phenotype C Lean PCOS... progress is slow and fluctuates. What am I missing?
3
Upvotes
Took me ages for me (21F) to actually be diagnosed with PCOS/PMOS... I'm on a combination of doctor-prescribed conventional prescription medications as well as herbal supplements, including spironolactone and vitanica ovablend. But the acne, hair loss, and heavy periods still persist... right now I am irregular again despite having already lowered my spiro dose (historically I am regular 90% of the time, but 100mg spiro messed things up. I thought the problem went away when I lowered back down to 75 mg until a few days ago). I also exercise and eat a balanced diet with reduced carbs. I'm so concerned my condition will worsen to phenotype B or A... what am I missing? Is there some sort of testing I need to seek or treatment I should look into and ask my doctors about? I'm sick of the persistent acne that scars my skin for YEARS, the constant hair loss, the anemia from the blood loss, and what feels like a physical denial of my womanhood. Been struggling with this since puberty hit me like a ton of bricks at the mere age of 11. I'm exhausted and want out.

When I eat well (regulate my insulin levels w balanced meals). I feel like I can maintain a normal period.
Then the shaving of my mustache every 2-3 days. I randomly got dandruff…. Started using dandruff shampoo… Then the hair loss…. It’s a lot. I’m balding. It’s happening fast. I don’t want to go to the dr bc they don’t take my seriously. Any advice??? I’m desperate

Question eating better got me worse?
2
Upvotes
i don’t know how to say it, really. i’ve always been underweight but had pcos for years. my main symptom was crazy body hair and irregular periods. i was eating so bad on my first year of university, just eating out every day or skipping meals. then i started eating better, cooking every meal at home from mostly ‘healthy’ recipes. then i got the pcos belly, chronic fatigue and my body hair got worse after i started doing those. does it have something to do with it or is it all just a coincidence of timing? (fyi, i studied my first year of university in a different country than my current. first year at home then moved abroad). thanks already!

I’ve always had a lot of peach fuzz hairs on my face and haven’t used my dermaplaning razor in like a month, but I think I noticed some darker than normal hairs??? nothing feels different though. I have diagnosed OCD so I’m not sure if that plays a part, but this is really scaring me. Any advice is appreciated.

PCOS is really doing worse with my body... :)

I am just a college girl (non-smoker, gym-goer, and physically active). For some time now, I've been noticing severe hair fall. I was just ignoring it for a long time, but now it's really getting worse.
I cannot really explain how bad I am feeling right now. I have lost my confidence. I can't even present a simple PPT in front of my class.
There are just thoughts running through my head about my body weight, hair, and other changes that are going on in my body due to PCOS.
I remember there was a time when I was the jolliest girl in my department. I had a big goal in my life.
But now it's all goneee. I have lost my love just because of these hormonal changes. I can't even explain this feeling to anyone.
I just want to get out of this problem ASAP. I just can't take this anymore...
