Im worried that i have cancer?!
Question:
Im worried that i have cancer?
in my family we have always have excessive hair growth. i went to the doctor recently, and i'd originally gone because of acne. the acne calmed down dramatically, and i didnt have to use products but would come back when i thread my face (to remove facial hair). the doctor noticed that i was very hairy and made me have a blood test and an ultra sound to see my ovaries. he found out that i have an uneven hormone level for a girl, and that i have too much testosterene. he said i may have polycystic ovaries. i'm really scared i wont be able to have children, my mum has the same excessive hair problems and she still had children. is it possible i may have ovary cancer? he said i should go on the pill and that it would cause me to put on weight over 5 - 10 years. they said my ovaries looked perfectly normal, so does that still mean i may have cancer?
Answers:
You need to go back to your doctor to get him to explain things to you. You may or may not have poly-cystic ovaries, but this doesn't mean that you have cancer.

Please don;t worry too much, your doctor will explain it all to you. Good luck.
