For me, it started with late periods and gaining weight out of nowhere, which is super common in hormonal issues. Please don't ignore these things and get a proper blood test done first. Regular checkups and keeping track of your thyroid and sugar levels with a doctor is very important.
Totally agree with the others here. Keep an eye out for sudden facial hair or bad acne too, as those are typical early signs.
My sister went through this last year when she turned 18. She was constantly moody and her periods were totally irregular. We took her to a gynecologist and she got it sorted with proper diet and meds, so just get her checked.
Haan, periods change hona is the main sign, sometimes skip ho jate hain for months. Aur face pe severe pimples aane lagte hain jo normal skin treatments se thik nahi hote. Beta thoda lifestyle thik karna padega doctor se milne ke baad, don't worry everything gets managed.
When my cousin had these symptoms, we took her to a top multispecialty hospital in Kolkata. The doctors there explained that irregular cycles and pelvic pain are classic early signs. Honestly, just write down all your doubts and ask your doctor clearly in your first consult.
It is always safer to get a proper ultrasound and hormonal profile test done right away. Self-diagnosing based on internet tips can be risky, especially for young girls. Better to consult a professional and get it checked to stay safe.
My first warning was this crazy, uncontrollable urge for sweets and carbs late at night. Insulin resistance in PCOS makes you crave food constantly and you gain weight super fast. If you're seeing this along with patchy periods, definitely get a checkup done!
