  • Can we Prevent Anovulatory Androgen Excess (aka PCOS)?

    Hi there. I don’t know if you can answer this or even if you will think it is a stupid question, but I am 41 and have a 12-year old daughter who got her period two years ago. I’ve struggled with PCOS since my teens and now I’m worried because I see my daughter following the same pattern. Her periods are every three or four months, she’s gaining weight rapidly, has lots of pimples and is feeling very bad about herself.  So here’s the question: Is there any way that we can stop her from getting PCOS? 

     

  • Why Does My Heart Feeling Like it is Doing Hurdles?

    I’m 46 years old, healthy and have never, ever had any heart trouble. However, three times in the last six months I’ve had to go to Emergency because my heart starts jumping and racing and I feel like I could black out. I’ve now seen two cardiologists who think they should do surgery to cut the electrical channels in my heart. But I’m young and healthy–my periods are even regular but I’m getting night sweats now and having much worse premenstrual symptoms, cramps and heavy periods. Please help! I’m scared.

  • Am I Skipping Periods Because of Too Much Exercise?

    I’m having periods that are usually two or three months apart and my doctor says it’s because I’m doing too much exercise. I’m 19, healthy, and studying to be a medical office assistant, I walk, run or kick-box every day but feel good when I do it and not good when I don’t. I’m slim (I think my body mass index is 18) but I feel good energy at this weight. I’m never sick, I eat well, don’t smoke and really try to be healthy. Do you think that too much exercise is causing my infrequent periods?
