Is acne a symptom of PCOS?

If you think you have this condition then talk to your parents and get to a gynecologist.

wot can a gynecoligyst do

Tell you if you have PCOS of course.

I have PCOS at 21. i was diagnosed with it at 17. theres a lot more things that would happen than just bad spots etc but it can be one of the things. Many teens get bad acne, irregular periods and weight gain. Its part of going tru puberty. But still if your worried go to yor doc and they can do a hormone count for you to see if you have PCOS. it usually happens in overweight women and yet im not so it does show it can happen to anyone!!! And a lot of women have a podgy tummy. My tummy is more rounded and not ultra flat but thats a womans shape more than often. Hope ur doc can help you

i have pcos, diagnosed when i was 16. they gave me birth control pills to try to balance out the hormones. definately check with your doctor, it may affect your later life if you do have it, and you can get clearer info from them.

I was diagnosed with pcos at 17 too. My doctor at the time said it was unusal to be noticed at my age and except for the acne and a little extra weight around my waist I don't generally fit the profile. The weight is difficult to control and i do 150 sit ups a day to try and keep on top of it but i still don't get diffined abs like my friends. Chin up, it's not the end of the world it just makes us who we are.
