Hi

I am almost certain I have PCOS...
well, I haven't had a period since I was 16 (but i'm not that bothered about that lol), i'm now 19. I'm slightly overweight, which hasn't changed more than a few pounds in either direction for some time. I have excess hair on my stomach, lower back, under my chin and on my upper lip.
And i'm a bit depressed to be honest.

The reason i'm conflicted, is because I have social anxieties.. I don't like leaving my house and doctors scare me - especially the part about that internal exam!
Is it necessary to get this diagnosed?

I've been researching a lot and it would seem doctors don't really do much besides prescribe the pill (which i'd rather not take) and things for symptoms.

So I was wondering also, if anyone has a natural herbal treatment plan - to go along with diet and exercise - where I can easily buy them from, such as Holland and Barrett?

All help and advice is very much appreciated, thanks.
