Hi, I'm a 20 year old woman. I have been going to a gynecologist since I was 16 and he has not given me any reason to doubt, but I wonder if my therapy is correct. He found polycystic ovaries in me, did hormonal tests on me, and my testosterone was elevated (not much). Unfortunately, I didn't keep the ultrasound picture and I don't remember what was on it, if you could see cysts. I am not overweight, but the skin on my face is oily and I used to have a lot of pimples. From time to time black dark hair appeared on my breast, which suggested to me that there was some disturbance in the hormones, but in general I do not have abundant hair, I would even say reduced, compared to the girls I know. I was prescribed Yasmin and have been drinking it for 1 year and he told me that I should drink it until I decide to get pregnant, because before the pills my period came every 15-16 days and the cycle was hellishly painful and unpleasant. To drink them, because otherwise the ovarian reserve is lost. I'm fine with the pills, I have no complaints about them, the pimples have decreased, now some come out here and there, before I was quite underweight, now I've gained a few rings. My question is mainly about the ovaries, do you think the diagnosis is correct? Should I go to another gynecologist? In general, I'm used to going to him, he still follows me for 4 years .. But he also checks me from the inside to see if everything is okay .. I would be very happy if there are a few more competent on the subject. I'm studying obstetrics, but I haven't entered the material yet, so more questions arise. In fact, I would be happy if I didn't have to visit other doctors.

I also have polycystic ovaries and drink hormones. My polycystosis was told that I had it after 3 years of examinations. For your safety, just go to someone else for an examination to be sure and that's it. However, I don't think that a gynecologist you have been with for 4 years would let you down
I have the same problem and for the first time I hear a gynecologist recommend drinking such a thing, I was even shocked to read it. It should give you hormones to regulate your testosterone.
Another victim of allopathic medicine ...
I do not understand why you are so surprised - in your place I would go for a second opinion, without even saying that I have a diagnosis and I would see what the other specialist will diagnose and recommend. However, this is your health - polycystic ovaries are a serious diagnosis and it is important when applying treatment to believe in it, to know that it is right and to be able to trust the competence of the doctor. Since you can't just trust yourself, the most logical thing is to check and look for other opinions to rest assured that you are doing the best for yourself.
Unfortunately, the level of our native healthcare is such that it is always necessary to seek a second opinion, even though we pay our insurances !!!
Dr. Bogdanova in St. Sofia / former Tina Kirkova in Krasna Polyana /. Try it with her. He is an amazing professional. A second opinion is never superfluous.
Go to another gynecologist, go to an endocrinologist and get your thyroid hormones tested.
Seek a second opinion.
It is never bad to hear a second opinion :)
I'm not familiar at all, but my acquaintance had polycystic ovaries. She went to all sorts of doctors, finally she went to a man who did a procedure through her abdomen with a skewer and if she opened them, she punched something, so that she could get pregnant and get pregnant, but after giving birth everything went back to normal. I think it's good to see another opinion that there are a lot of charlatans these days. And don't be fooled by the private ones, sometimes they take a lot and do nothing.
And going to someone else can't see polycystosis, because the pills clean it. You have been tested, which is OK and enough to make a diagnosis. I've also been on pills for the same reason for a lot more years than you. "Holidays" are the opposite because of the increased risk of heart attack and stroke in the first year. Read the leaflet.
