Missed periods and increase in acne
Hi so I am 20 years and I am in my second year at university.About 2 years ago I think I wrote here about me having periods lasting more than 21 days etc and well I went to the many doctors then and they could find out why. In the public hospital they did and ultrasound but they didn’t do the pap smear stuff because they didn’t find it was ideal given that I never wore tampons and I am a virgin . They concluded that everything was ok. They did blood tests and well obviously my blood count was dropping rapidly. Long story short I eventually went to a private hospital and was given a pill to reduce blood sugar level and well my period was regulated . Even since until January 9th 2020 my period came each time it was supposed to and the bleeding was the same no clots etc.
Oh I forgot the public hospital said that it was just stress maybe because they asked about changes in my life food related etc and the only thing that changed was that I had started A levels. The private doctor said that I had pcos but she didn’t run any test on my whatsoever . Anyway I haven’t had period since January which is like a week before I started this semester and although I have always had acne I had manantial get it under control for more than a year now . However recently it is returning to how it was and well I just want someone who has been through this to help me . I really don’t want to go to the doctor because yes I get treatment for the acne but it is so temporary always the same things and pills which are short term . The last time I reduced my acne drastically I used home remedies but then my period was regular . I am fearful of bleeding so much again and well I am thinking that I have to do something to relieve my stress but I don’t know what to do ... Like I just believe that my hormones are messed up since during December I may have eaten junk foods that I stopped eating 2 years ago and then I restarted University with a lot on my since I spent my vacation thinking I failed a course . I’m not sure what my problem is but I’m a bit scared and don’t want to be on any medication ...

My trust in regular doctors today is half and half, so half the time I don't trust that they know what they are talking about, as in going for 2 years with strange heart flutters and it wasn't diagnosed by my doctor or the cardiologists but a list of symptoms on line that a Saturday walk in clinic doctor saw, as I was in for unrelated issue. He gave me a list of more precise situations asking if any related and it was as if he had it because he understood without me telling him and called it PVC. My story is just to show you that todays doctors for the most part just don't know enough or have enough experience or have never encountered or read about a certain condition. We are not doctors here and can only tell our own stories. I am more into natural health remedies and would rather point you in that direction as a last resort. First, heres what the Mayo clinic has to say about PCOS and its symptoms. When it comes to womens reproductive sysmtems and functions of their genetalia, the medical field is so far backwards on that subject that they really don't have a clue. A doctor might say there is no such thing as female ejaculation for example but I discovered in studies on my own to understand myself better, that it is real and some w omen do experience it. I have heard of Endometriosis and PCOS and worked in my early 20s with a gal who had endometriosis and she was uncomfortable and in pain quite often and there wasn't much Drs could do for her as they didn't understand it. Only a decade ago did I hear of PCOS. I do believe that there can be abnormal heavy bleeding not related to PCOS as one of my daughters friends had when going through puberty. The solution was her Dr. putting her on the pill and it worked for her and she was able later to have a child, which women with PCOS have difficulty with or can't so I can't say she had PCOS. Since it is not well understood by the medical community, you'll need to find a Dr. who really cares and will take the extra time to try different things for you and see you as many times as needed. When my kids were young, we went to a Naturopath. A naturopath not only has to learn everything a regular proimary Dr. must know, they go on to study health remedies as well. So when my kids got ear infections, instead of a harsh antibiotic, they got Coloidal Silver, silver in water with no detectable taste, so the kids would take it and they always recovered. If you are againts taking pharmaceutical medications if it comes down to that, then a Naturopath might be your best choice. I would ask where they graduated and check with the college to be sure they attended as there are quacks in that area as well as any other more traditional medical fields.
