Not Taking Birth Control To Regulate Periods. Suffering From PCOS. Have Irregular Bleeding. Do I Have Cancer Or Endometriosis?

Hello, I have PCOS and have not had a regular period in 2 years. I refuse to take birth control to regulate it. But now I am getting really worried, I have had an on & off going period for a month now. I have DR appt in a couple days, but without a regular DR to call I don t know what to do. It is getting heavier with small clots....?? I understand there is probably a large amount of lining that needs to be shed but I am still worried about if I have cancer , endometriosis or something else. Can you give me an idea of what might be going on? Please Help.

Hi,
you may have endometriosis, you said you have PCOS. in PCOS irregular peroids are very common because this is a condition of male sex hormone excess. mainly occurs due to LH hormone and altered Insulin sensitiveness. please consult your gynaecologist. because period regularization and modifying insulin sensitiveness is mainstay of treatment. ultrasound or MRI can give you a clue of proper diagnosis. anyway your present symptoms does not match any cancer.
