Yea, you should talk to your mom about it; the most pressing issue, would be the irregular periods!. You don't necessarily have to be overweight!. Regardless if it's PCOS or not, having irregular periods is not normal (although a lot of women suffer from it)!. Good luck and don't worry; it's treatable!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You are 15 and it could just be that your body is trying to regulate itself and is just going a little off wack!.!.!.as the teenage years bring so much joy that way!. Or you could be leading to PCOS!. Regardless of what it is with the missed, heavy, or irregular periods you should go in for a pap smear and just get checked!. If you are having that much trouble with acne, hair growth or periods you should go in!. Generally with PCOS there is weight gain too- would that suit you!? As for the dandruff it could just be that it is dry out with summer and you just need to moisturize your head and scrub harder or grab some dandruff shampoo!. Regardless, you should go in and just have an exam esp!. if you have never done it before!. With mother approved, they can put you on birth control pills for the hormone affects of it to even out the chemical imbalance as you go!. With you being so young you could find different symptoms as you get older and have to go back to be re-evaluated with the different hormones!. They can do this to treat your symptoms regardless if it is PCOS or just some side affects of growing up!. Good Luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
