Doctor, so why these problems?

I finally found the reason to those massive hair loss, weird irregular menstrual that comes 2-3 times a month, those heavy bleedings, those “blur and feeling fatigue” days and those severe acne from my teenage years till now.

Firstly I thought they were all separate problems. Changed zillions of hair shampoos but found no change in my hair droppings. It’s very concerning when a bunch of hair comes off when u run your fingers through your hair.

It’s been 10 over years since puberty days and I have been ignoring those weird menstrual problems thinking if I hit young adult it should be stabilized. Was encourage to take some natural medicines like Evening Primose Oil but the symptoms still stayed the same.

Those heavy bleedings were such a torture. It’s always the first day that’s the worst, with both severe stomach cramps and back pain at the same time. Sometimes it can get so bad that I couldn’t get out of bed. Then there will be feelings of energy being drained and there will be massive blows of headaches with blurriness of attention towards the environment around me.

Although sometimes I get 10 to 12 hours of sleep, somehow it’s still so tiring and the whole world out there just seems to be a daze. It’s just so blur, it makes myself feel so blur too. Trying to concentrate during lectures or concentrate on my studies seem to be so difficult, whatever I am looking at keeps zooming in and out.

Last but not least, acne… =.=”. Acne = decrease self confidence + depression. Everyone always say “aiyaa dun worry lar, growing up years anang got acne one” then after my growing up years are gone… “aiyoo, must be the stress lar, dun stress so much, relax”
Mm yea maybe those hormones played a part and maybe stress do play a part, but somehow I cannot find the reason to those bad random poppings of up to 8 huge Mount Everest acnes in one day even when I am not under stress. No matter how I kept my face clean and how good the products used, or whatever medications I take, doesn’t make any difference.

Finally one day I had enough of everything, decided to visit the doctor, got referred to gynaecologist, did lotsa blood tests, had an ultrasound scan and spent lotsa money on them (medicare dun even claim all of them =.=)… I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.
