Understanding Hormonal Changes in Teen Girls: A Comprehensive Guide
QuestionI'm not sure if you can answer my question but it would be great if you could. I'm 13 years old and I've had my period for about a year. I am still not even a A cup. I have lots of hair on my lip, my eyebrows grow very fast, my stomach is hairy, my chest and my back. I've had pubic hair since I was about 6 years old. I have extremely oily hair and skin, lots of acne and I cannot fall asleep and stay asleep. I'm constantly tired and have no energy. My mood changes a lot. My period doesn't follow any certain pattern. It's usually brownishh and heavier than I think it is supposed to be at my age. I also have armpit stench no matter what deoderant I use and no matter how much I shower or put it on. I suffer from urinary track infections quite often as well. I'm just concerned I might have some hormonal imbalance. Help? D; thanks.
AnswerDear Tori,
Thank you for writing me keeping in mind I am not a doctor but by what you are telling me I would strongly urge you to try and get your parents to take you to see a doctor and tell them everything you have told me. Yes, it sounds like a hormone imbalance that in your case can be helped out for you are young so please do not delay any longer and go see a doctor about this.
God Bless
