by Symptom Advice on January 12, 2011

I feel this certain kind of pain on my left side when i ovulate. I just had a Myomectomy( fibroids) in November and i was feeling such pains b4 then. I thot it would stop after the surgery.my Gynae checked during the surgery and he said my tubes & ovaries are fine.

These are some of the symptoms of PCOS:

infrequent menstrual periods, no menstrual periods, and/or irregular bleeding
infertility or inability to get pregnant because of not ovulating
increased growth of hair on the face, chest, stomach, back, thumbs, or toes
acne, oily skin, or dandruff
pelvic pain
weight gain or obesity, usually carrying extra weight around the waist
type 2 diabetes
high cholesterol
high blood pressure
male-pattern baldness or thinning hair
patches of thickened and dark brown or black skin on the neck, arms, breasts, or thighs
skin tags, or tiny excess flaps of skin in the armpits or neck area
sleep apnea?excessive snoring and breathing stops at times while asleep

I was diagnosed with PCOS a few months ago. my symptoms were very irregular periods, severe cramping, weight gain with little appetite. I was constantly tired no matter how much sleep I got, heavy heavy bleeding, and cramping even when I did not have my period. you can never know if this is what you have unless you visit your doctor and talk to him/her about it, and there are many other symptoms you may or may not have.
