Dr. Michael Traub answered

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Evaluation: It sounds like pcos a common hormonal disorder. But other things can cause those same symptoms. You are having either excessive male hormones or relatively low female homones. A fertility specialist could do a complete evaluation and begin treatment to try to fix or reverse the symptoms.
