Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am 14 years old, and I am 5 feet tall. I do not have periods for a year now. I really have bad cramps all the time and I have constant hair growth under my chin. What to do?

Answered by Dr. Artur Holubka

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You have classic hyperandrogenism of women. In this condition, the synthesis and activity of androgen hormone increases in the body. Hyperandrogenism occurs in eight percent of adolescent girls and twenty three percent of women in their fertile period. The hyperandrogenism is classified into adrenal (adrenogenital syndrome), ovarian (polycystic ovarian syndrome), GA in violation of reception and exchange of androgens in the skin (peripheral), and mixed. You need to consult a gynecologist and endocrinologist. You need to do an ultrasound of the pelvis and other organs of the abandoned space. You need to do a hormone balance study and examine your androgen, estrogen, adrenal hormones, hypothalamic-pituitary liberins, and statin levels in the body. After that, treatment will be given and your problem will get solved.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
