Do I have PCOS?
Hello! So I'm 17F, 162cm and 58kg. Lately I've been suspecting that I might have PCOS, but at the same time I'm not really sure because of my age. So I would really appreciate some advice!
I had my first period when I was around 13 or 14. After that, I didn't get my period for around 4–6 months, and then I got it again. This cycle repeated, with me sometimes going around 2–4 months without getting my period. A little over a year ago, I started tracking my periods.
I've researched PCOS symptoms online, and I have a few that seem to match: pretty bad acne on my face and upper back, oily hair, above-average hair growth under my chin, on my stomach, and possibly on my legs and arms, and of course very irregular periods.
There have also been a few times when I've noticed a very small amount of faint blood on the toilet paper after going to the bathroom, which made me think my period might finally be starting, but then my period never actually came.
When I do get my periods, a lot of my friends say they experience quite a lot of pain, get lightheaded, etc., but I rarely experience discomfort during mine.
I don't take any pills or medication and I've only ever been diagnosed with dyslexia, which I don't think is related to this.
I'm mainly wondering if this could potentially be PCOS, or if irregular periods like this can still be normal at my age.
