Mosaic Turner Syndrome, Lighter Period, Have Mood Swings, Heart Races. Is It Hormonal?
I am 23, 100% virgin, mosaic Turner Syndrome (84% XX, 16% XO).
I got my period at 11 and it was normal throughout my teens. I would change a med/heavy-sized winged pad 2-3 times per day.
Throughout the last few years, periods have become lighter. Now, my 4-5 day periods (whole bleeding cycle) won't even cover 1 of those med/heavy sized pads.
My concentration decreased the past several years, and I've been moody the last 2 years (like PMS moods through the month). I handle heat poorly & get hot very easily (increasingly worse since puberty). Sometimes I notice my heartbeat.
Bloodwork April 2013 (CBC, Complete Metabolic Panel, TSH, and Vit.D 25 OH, lipid, glucose, B12) all was fine, B was a little high because of supplement, but I reduced that.
I've been vegan for 3 years, but all blood work was fine; I eat healthy, sufficient, well-balanced, mostly unprocessed vegan foods.
I had 1st pelvic exam Nov 2012, all seemed fine.
Do you think this is hormonal or not? Your thoughts?

Hi,
Thank you for choosing Healthcaremagic. I am sorry to say it seems to me you are going into PREMATURE OVARIAN FAILURE because of genetic problem. You will probably need Combined oral contraceptive pills to get normal periods. To confirm my diagnosis you need to get serum FSH, oestradiol levels and a baseline ultrasound pelvis to know ovarian size.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. In case of any doubt, I will be available for follow-ups. If you like my answers kindly rate it, and write a review as well. Please do not forget to accept it.
Thank you,
Wish you good health.
Regards,
Dr Arif
