Hormonal Imbalance? Please help :(

Published

I have gained 80 lbs in the past 2 years. My eating and exercise habits have no changed but my body definetly has. This all started when I was about 17 years old. I got pregnant and decided to have a medical abortion. After that my weight has spiral ed out of control. No matter what I do, however many times a day I go to the gym, however little I eat, I Can't seem to shake the weight. I don't take any medications. My mother was recently diagnosed with poly cystic ovarian syndrome and I have all of her similar symptoms. Not getting periods, alittle facial hair, bad acne. I'm only 20 years old, I need to figure out what is wrong with me. Because being trapped in a body I don't feel like I deserve to be in is depressing. It's a truly helpless feeling.

To figure out what's wrong with you, you need to see a healthcare provider instead of posting on an anonymous message board on the internet.

You need to consult with a physician. There is no way, even if permitted by ToS, ANYONE could advise you online without seeing you and a full physical exam & labs. Good luck. See your PCP or OB GYN
