The only way to know for sure would be to see your doctor for an exam and testing. Blood tests and an ultrasound would be done to confirm or deny the diagnosis. You can read more about PCOS here

I would but I do not know what pcos is.sorry!

Polycystic ovary syndrome is called PCOS for short. If your hormones don't work in the normal way, your ovaries might make too many eggs. Those eggs turn into many cysts. Women in their childbearing years can get it. It often begins in the teenage years. It doesn't go away.

Do you have irregular menstrual periods. Have your periods stopped? How about excess hair growing, if you say yes to these questions then you should probably see your doctor. About 70 percent of women with PCOS have extra hair growing in the sideburn area of their face and on their chin, upper lip, nipple area, chest, lower abdomen and thighs. They may get acne. About half are obese. Your doctor will look for the signs of PCOS. Blood tests that measure your hormone levels can help. An ultrasound exam can show if you have cysts on your ovaries.

If you have PCOS, you might need to lose weight. Medicine can help with your menstrual cycle, abnormal hair growth and acne. If you have diabetes or high blood pressure, they have to be treated. If you want to have a baby, there are medicines that may help you get pregnant.

Have some blood work done. Women with PCOS don't always have cysts on their ovaries. And even if you do have cysts most of the time they don't have any effect. I was diagnosed when I was 16 with PCOS. I've found that going on birth control pills will regulate my cycle perfectly. I've had laser hair removal for my chin and face and a little on my belly.
