Hi,
One possible cause of your symptoms could be polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a hormonal disorder that can cause acne, excess hair growth, and difficulty losing weight. PCOS is common in women of reproductive age and can also cause irregular periods, fertility issues, and insulin resistance.
Other possible causes of your symptoms include hormonal imbalances related to miscarriage, thyroid disorders, or side effects of medications. Your healthcare provider can perform a physical exam and order tests to help determine the underlying cause of your symptoms.
In the meantime, you can try to manage your symptoms by practicing good skin care habits, such as washing your face twice daily with a gentle cleanser and avoiding picking or squeezing pimples. You can also talk to your healthcare provider about medications or treatments that may help manage your acne and excess hair growth.
These symptoms can have a significant impact on your physical and emotional well-being, meet your doctor.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
