Hi,

Thanks for consulting HealthcareMagic!
First thing that needs to be ruled out in a sexually active female is pregnancy (I understand that you are practising safe sex). Anyhow, it needs to be excluded first for these kind of symptoms. However, there are various things related to hormonal imbalance as you are thinking that also need to be excluded. You may need to undergo certain hormonal blood tests and ultrasound abdomen/pelvis. Let me know if you have have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer.
