Where to go for help?

Been back and for the the GP for 5 years trying to find out what’s wrong with my periods. My periods are getting worst. They referred me for a scan and the hospital thought I had PCOS but my GP said no. Blood test come back all normal. When I asked what els it could be the GP answer was that they couldn’t do much more because I’m to young for a smear test. Now been referred to the gynaecologist in the hospital but got to wait 5 or months for a appointment. Is there anywhere els I could go for advice, help or to get things done quicker as I’m quite worried

Is it only an issue with your periods. You can be diagnosed by symptoms alone as cysts are only a symptom and can come and go and blood tests can come back normal.

You need to be referred to an endocrinologist rather than a gynae if it is hormonal.

Not what you're looking for?
