Can girls who didn't have their period yet get polycystic ovary syndrome?

It's possible, as PCOS symptoms can start around puberty, but she's also pretty young to be able to say for sure, as her hormones may not have reached adult levels yet. Mine started becoming noticeable when I was about 12. Many women with PCOS have very irregular periods, but at age 13 it isn't unusual to not have started your periods yet. At such a young age, hair growth can be just hormones trying to sort themselves out, or it could be a symptom of an underlying problem. Does she have any other PCOS symptoms? These can include irregular periods, being obese, having bad acne (worse than other kids your age), hair on top of her head getting thin, dark patches of skin (my mom always thought my neck was dirty, but I just had dark skin on the back of my neck), or skin tags (look like small raised moles). Many women with PCOS do not use insulin correctly, a problem that is called insulin resistance, which is not the same thing as diabetes. If your friend has other PCOS symptoms or if she thinks something is wrong, she should talk to her parents about seeing a doctor.

what you don't know is that u actually have hair alll over your body some is darker and thicker some is not.but it could be polycystic ovary syndrome.but just to let u know if u r on ur period and u have it one day then it skips the next day and then the day after that it comes back u just might have the syndrome.i'm on my period and it doesn't do that. but i still have some hairs not alot though. once u get birth control the pill will start to controll hair growth a little bit but not alot so ,don't get scared.i read in seventeen magazine about this syndrome and it's only treatable,also what they put in the magazine isn't completely true....they telll u about if u have nipple hair around ur nipple that u might have the syndrome,alot of girls have hair around the nipple,but that still doesn't mean ur friend has it or u too.
