I (16F) have always had strange things revolving periods and my hormonal balance, however I've never told anyone or went to a doctor since honestly I have a bit of a fear of going to places like gynecologists. I just want to know if this is something I should bring up.

Firstly, my periods are VERY irregular. While it's obviously common for girls to have irregular periods for a couple years after getting it, I got my period at 10, and then they sorted themselves out over the years. However, over the last year or so they've gotten so insanely irregular. For example, I've been bleeding for 3 consecutive weeks straight this month. No cramps, no other symptoms, just bleeding. Not a crazy amount, just my average.

Secondly, I'm always bloated. I'm not fat, my weight is average for my height and my arms, thighs, and everywhere else on my body the weight is normally distributed. However, my stomach is ALWAYS bloated, like, balloon level bloated. Some days it genuinely looks like I'm up to 6 or so months prgnant (IM NOT). It's not even funny. I don't know if it has to do with my diet or anything, since I still eat under my parents' roof and they overall control what I eat. If I think about it, it's nothing out of the ordinary. My dad went to culinary school and is very particular about what we eat and making sure it's balanced, so I'm not sure.

Thirdly, I have always had strange hormonal balances. I have bad ADHD which affects my mood swings very intensely. Also, I have very thick, multi follicular body hair. It's impossible to get rid of and still look normal. No one else in my family has this issue at all, not my sisters, no one. Only me. I spend hours every week removing it, it's ridiculous.

I think overall these symptoms may mean something, idk what, but it's just starting to concern me and I wanted to know if anyone has any potential solutions, questions, answers, or anything that could help? Let me know if this seems serious and if I should tell my parents/see a doctor.

Thanks <3
