Q&A: My Doctor Just Called and Said I Have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, but I Don’t Think That’s a Correct Diagnosis.
Question by Madelyn: My doctor just called and said I have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, but I don’t think that’s a correct diagnosis.
I had an ultrasound because I haven’t had my period in five months. Apparently, they found a few cysts on my ovaries. I just looked up the syndrome on webmd and it sounds more like something that overweight women get. I’m 16 years old, 5’4″, 105 lbs. I jog 1.25 miles three times a week, on average, and am very health-conscious. I won’t eat foods with partially hyrdrogenated oils, I never eat anything fried, I refuse to eat red meat, and I eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. The description was saying things like “women with this syndrome should lose weight to prevent symptoms”. I’m just really confused and I don’t want to grow a beard!
Do you think her diagnosis was correct??
Does anyone else have it? What symptoms do you have??

I am 20, 140lbs and 5’9, and i have polycycstic ovary syndrome, anyone can get it. with any kind of a medical thing there are always exceptions to the rules. If you are really unsure of the doctors test ask to be retested, or go to another doctor and ask that one to test you
