ok I’m almost 18 and I have suffered with facial hair and androgen related hair since I was a kid. I feel embarrassed to have such a heavy hair growth. I get hair on my face and all over my body, and it’s not normal I know it’s not! I mean I shave my legs and my face and the hair grows back the next day. I even saw that in waxing the hair started to growth back in two weeks. I’ve been reading online about this, and the articles said that when women who grow facial hair have a hormonal imbalance. Where can I go to get this looked at? My dermatologist, or my doctor? I’m going to college in a month, and I really don’t want to be shaving my face everyday with a bunch of other girls watching, it’s really embarrassing you know? I know I probably sound a bit vain, but it really is important to me I don’t want to go through this hassle for the rest of my life.

I don’t seem to have to shave my legs nearly as much as I used to. It used to be 3-4 times a week. Now I barely do it once a week. And they really don’t need to be shaved.

Can a pap smear detect ovarian cysts? I have pelvic pain, my ovaries hurt, I have PMS symptoms but I am not PMSing, my legs and back hurt too. has anyone ever experienced this before?

She is 52years old.She quit smoking cigarettes in March of this year.She says they made her sick to her stomach,like when she was pregnant.She has gained 15 pounds since quitting smoking. Most of the weight gain is evident in her breasts and waistline,her legs are still skinny.If she were a young woman I would think it is a false pregnancy.Is this possible?

Did you also experience rashes on arms,legs and torso as a result of the hormonal changes caused by menopause?

Okay so in my family(blood related) there are 3 other people that can’t have kids or that have miscarried. 1 miscarries muliple times a year and has cysts on her ovaries…tons on one and 1 as big as her ovary onthe other side. I don’t really know how to explain everything she said but baisically its cuz shes miscarried and stuff and she has a hormonal imbalance. Well she said weight gain, black hair on stomach, belly and face was a sign. I have all of those, but my hair has always been black on my legs and belly it just got worse cuz i shaved both. Then i had something happen so I had steroids pumped in my body for three days and a mustache formed, not bad but i do have to shave it. could I have it too? I’m young and all my pas came back fine and I was pregnant but miscarried at about 6 weeks along… the others can’t conceive as far as i know but i don’t know why with them. could I really have a hormonal imblance? How do i find out for sure(on medicaid)? and what are some symtoms?
Any suggestions? What kind of doctor? Does my gyno need to refer me for medicaid to cover it? What tests should I ask to have done? Any personal experiences? What did you do? Anything is really appreciated! I am trying to have a baby! Thank you!
yeah nice that helps me so much not

i had a total abdominal hysterectomy and still having pressure pain in urinating and bowel movement that i do not want to sit on the do any of these. how long will this pain last and what is causing muscle pain in my legs. please advise.

When I was in 10th grade, I noticed I started getting really bad pains around my butt. It went on for a few weeks. I had to go to the ER one night because I felt like I was going to die! They ran some kind of scan and after 3 hours, they told me I had cysts and that they weren’t that big. I had 1 on each ovary=2. I’ve been to the gynocologist 3 times since then, due to lack of periods. They never really worried about my cysts, but they knew about them. They told me back in 10th grade, they would disappear eventually. Well, I’m now almost done with my SENIOR YEAR in high school and I still have cysts. They usually come here and there and especially in the middle of the night. I have to stretch my legs out to not feel the pressure. Then they go away. Why haven’t they disappeared after 2 years? Is this normal? Will they go away? Due to my lack of periods? I can function in everyday life, but I don’t want to have to put up with this for the rest of my life! Surgery? I hope not! Thanks!

I’m a 15 year old male (physically) and want to take female hormones. I’m sure I want to do this, but my parents are Catholic and I don’t know how they’ll react if I ask them to take me to a doctor. So I figure I have two options, find a doctor that won’t/can’t tell them, or self-medicate. I’ll probably be able to hide boobs and everything from them for two years until I move out to college. How well do they work redistributing fat and everything to female areas (butt, legs, etc.)? How long would it take to grow normal sized boobs? How long before I’d be unrecognizable as a male? I figure if I start this young I should be good, right? So how can I go about getting/hiding the hormones?
Also I’m positive I want this permanently, when I was 11 I had a dream that I had boobs and since then I’ve known I’m meant to be a girl.
To the idiot calling me gay, grow the **** up.

From what I’ve read and seen on inhousepharmacy I can get like a two-month supply for around 0. That’s easy to pay for.

i’m trying to get some relief for some serious estrogen dominance symptoms, brought on after a major meltdown about a year ago (legs and abdomen are constantly bloated, incapacitating cramps and irregular periods)

I’ve been taking vitex for 3 months today.
Going crazy.

I’m some what of a hypochondriac but I’ve been feeling sick since October. I’ve been seeing doctors for months also, and have had various blood tests done, including a complete blood count. I read that was one way to diagnose leukemia. If I had that done, then is it not possible the symptoms I’ve been feeling are due to leukemia? I get chills, and nightsweats, and I’ve been constantly tired and weak for months, made worse by exercise. I’ve recently noticed pinpoint red dots appearing on my skin, and sometimes I find random scratches on my legs that take a long time to go away. Could this be leukemia? I’m really worried.

I am only 32 so I don’t think I am going through menapause. I have been doing this for about a year now. I don’t understand. I wake up drenched in sweat even on my legs.

I have been using progesterone cream for a few weeks and I’m feeling weird. My period is late (which I figured would happen), but I am also overly emotional (a band I went to see played "Daydream Believer" too fast and I cried… yah….), been craving weird food… lower back is hurting and I’m uncomfortable (the other day i went to go see a friend but left early because I couldn’t bear sitting up anymore, I really wanted to lie down), also feels like my uterus is "stretching" (like how it feels when you do stretches in your arms or legs)… it’s a little sore but it does not hurt… can all of this be caused from taking this cream??
