Should I test for PCOS?
Hi everyone! I'm 16 years old this year and im seeking advice on whether I should see a doctor to test for PCOS. I exercise at least once a week and try to eat healthy. I got my period at 11 and have always had mostly regular periods. Recently, starting from last year, my periods started to arrive around 1-2 weeks late even though my periods used to be very punctual but I brushed it off as I thought it was normal. Around this period of time, I also missed my period once or twice. My last period was from 8 to 15 april and it has been almost 2 months since my last period. My parents are worried and are urging me to see a doctor but I'm not sure if that would be overreacting.
I also started getting acne when I was around 10-11. Over the years, my acne gradually worsened until it was quite severe until I went to see a derm who put me on antibiotics. I am no longer on antibiotics and have been using tret for the past 7 months. The antibiotics and tret worked wonders for my skin but ever since my last period, my acne has come back in full force. I have consistently been breaking out in cystic acne and pustules around my cheek, chin and a little along my jawline. I also noticed that my hairline might be receding and getting thinner. I have not experienced any significant weight gain.
I saw others on this subreddit experiencing similar symptoms but theirs seem much more severe than mine.
Am I overreacting or should I go get tested just in case? 😭😭
Also are there any other tests which I should consider going for besides testing for PCOS?
