PCOS - can you outgrow it?

August 01, 2008

Is that possible? Or can you develop it later in life when you had no issues b4?

When i was younger, like in High School i had lots of female issues, terribly painful and heavy periods and could go months w/out having a period. I have lost of hair on my body and also am just naturally heavy. I can get slim but withn ot eating anything at all during the day cept a couple peices of bread and soda.

Now, i have no issues wiht AF at all, comes when it should, is like 2 or 3 days max and is very light and not painful at all really.

I was on b/c pills for years to help when i was younger and now fine. Is it something that you have for life or can your body re-adjust?

Yes Yes Yes. You can get it anytime.

Also, lose it anytime, typically following a healthy diet and weight loss. Thats how I lost it. Im not saying all women lose it that way, but my case. I dont have it anymore confirmed via blood tests and Ultrasound.

HopeN,

Just another question. How old were you when you found out you had pcos? Did you have any symptoms in adolescence?
