The doctors cant explain what is going on, maybe other women can help.
In March of 2014 I asked the board a question to what did they think this can be. I had an 8 day period. Well its been 7 months since then and Ive had two more prolonged periods. I went to the GYN doctor where she scheduled for a sonogram. Ive had it done and got the results 2 weeks later.
Well, the sonographer informed that I had small follicles on my ovaries. And she said it was PCOS. Well when the results came in the GYN doctor said that everything was normal.
I asked for a copy of the results and I saw that I had a mild prolapse of the uterus. The GYN doctor never mentioned this to me as if there are no remedies to cure it. She dismissed me due to her being upset that I refused a pap smear. I no longer want to go to that doctor because the office attendants was talking about the patients business and laughing about it.
My question now is do you believe that she is correct when she says my weight is the problem to all of the symptoms?

btw: she said that since I was bleeding for a longer period that just means that my blood is being expelled at a shorter time and before I was bleeding for a shorter time because it was being expelled at a faster rate. Also that the blood clots were smaller because of this long periods. Seems to me she doesn't know what is going on and she just wanted to blame the obvious.

memberIt really shouldnt matter how much I weigh. I was heavy all of my life with normal periods at the age of 8 years old. And last year up until February they were normal until I got a light positive pregnancy test. I dont mean to sound rude but weight is not always the answer.

memberOne of the first suggestions to treat PCOS is weight loss, among several others:
Lifestyle modification. Many women with PCOS are overweight or obese, which can cause health problems. You can help manage your PCOS by eating healthy and exercising to keep your weight at a healthy level. Healthy eating tips include:
â?¢Limiting processed foods and foods with added sugars
â?¢Adding more whole-grain products, fruits, vegetables, and lean meats to your diet
This helps to lower blood glucose (sugar) levels, improve the body's use of insulin, and normalize hormone levels in your body. Even a 10 percent loss in body weight can restore a normal period and make your cycle more regular.

LUVTOWALKFAST....I didnt take it as a judgement from you per say. Im just tired of people thinking that being over weight causes so many problems. I dont have diabetes, heart disease or anything else that comes with it. I just wanted to know from my last question of the nausea and cramps and light bleeding was because I had a light positive pregnancy test. She asked me if I was in denial of being pregnant.
When I think of doctors I want someone who will try their best to understand what is going on with me and not to just state the obvious. because there maybe an undercover reason to this madness.

Unfortunately when ure over weight they like to blame that on a lot of things.I'm over weight and after my last birth my c section stitches burst and I got a really bad infection and was told it was because of my weight.I knew it was not and finally after 28 day and my request to see a dufferent doc they finally told me it was medical negligence as to why I got so I'll...maybe change docs..
