If someone has their period maybe 3-4 times a year...
But no other symptons other than maybe some slight weight gain, cramps etc. Is the likelyhood PCOS? What are the odds, high? Or could the symptoms be from a bunch of other causes?
There really is no way to answer that question. If you think you might have it, schedule an appointment with your doctor. I have had it all my life & no doctor tested me because I had 3 children with no problems getting pregnant. But.... I had every single other symptom. I am on glucophage now & just had 2 cycles all on my own 2 months in a row!! This is a first for me
This can be anything, not necessarily PCOS And the symptoms of PCOS may absolutely be different... Someone gains weight, others are thin, and the period may be 3-4 time a year by some other reasons etc. etc. Do visit your doctor, it will be much better than if we think out a lot of interesting diseases for you.
This is concerning a friend. She has an appointment with her doc. Just wanted some insight incase things with the doc are over looked. Having it overlooked is pretty common it appears.
I know two perople personally already with this issue, a third would be very strange indeed.
It is even more confusing, when two different docs diagnose differently one and the same symptoms Visiting doctors may become such a nuisance, but what can we do without them?
Anyway, I wish your friend to cope with all health problems
