”I had to take several blood tests before I was diagnosed with PCOS. My menstruation was irregular and I had a lot of hair growth on my body and in my face.”
I am a 17 year old girl with PCOS. Its a syndrome which causes an irregular menstruation cycle and in some cases weight gain and execs bodily and facial hair growth. I didn’t know I had PCOS until a year ago when I went to see a doctor about my period which I would only have approximately twice a year. I had to take several blood tests before I was diagnosed with PCOS, but when I was finally diagnosed the doctor explained to me how my hair growth was caused by this syndrome. I received a medicine called Provera to take for my period to kick in. I had to take the medicine every third month, two per day for ten days until my period became regular. For my hair growth I received a medical referral for diathermy treatment financed by the city council. I have been going to Leila’s for almost a year and I am very happy with my results. It is an excellent form of treatment and I cannot wait until I am hair-free! I want to thank Leila for helping me get rid of my hair. It has really helped!
