Hi everyone im new.

I need some advice.


I was 14 when i was taken to hospital with a cyst on my ovary and it burst, it was so so painful. I was told that one of my ovarys was bigger. and later in life i would need some tests done. i thought no more of it. but since then i have had serious period pains. real painful.

im 20 now. and im having really bad period pains. I have really bad facial hair and acne. And i feel so embarrassed. i have tried all sorts of things to get rid of the acne. And im putting on a lot of weight. my mum thinks i have Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). i havent been to the doctor yet im real nervous about going. but over the last week. i have had my period which only lasted for 3 days and im getting severe back ache and pains in my right side by my rib. i would appreciate any advice or anything. thank you xxxx

well do you get your period every month?

u do have alot of sympthom of PCOS so i would totally advice you to go to the doctor since PCOS also causes infertility and that can affect your live later on if not treated.
