breast atrophy and thick hair growth Posted: 12-05-07 02:21am
I am a young woman and have had no periods
for the past 2 years. During this time my
breasts have reduced more than a cup size,
my body hair became darker and thicker,
and my sex drive is much much much higher.
My doctor put me on Yaz - I am now on the
first month's placebo week and have had a
withdrawal bleed. However, my breast size
has not increased (although my hips and
thighs are fuller, which suggests estrogen
is in my system doesn't it?) and I still
have the thick hair growth. i was hoping
the pill would resolve these issues
because they severely affect my self
esteem. does anyone know if there is a
treatment for this?

Your Symptomes May Suggest Pcos Posted: 01-03-08 19:23pm
I am also young and have had all your
symptoms as well as a few others. I found
out about 5 years ago that I have PCOS (
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome). There is so
much more information on the internet now
than what used to be. It is so important
that you get diagnosed as soon as
possible. I would also suggest that you
work with a specialist that knows about
PCOS. Birth control is not the answer.
Proper health habits, such as regular
excersize and healthy eating, along with a
medication such as Glucophage may also be
recommended to you. I was on medication
for about 4 years before I was able to get
off of it. Now I am able to control my
PCOS with different supplements and
diet/excersize. I would also recommend
going on a full body cleans. After doing
one myself, I noticed significant
differences. I am definitely not anti
meds, but I believe that they are a tool
to getting things started in a different
direction. If you have anything at all
that you need or would like information
about, let me know.
