Amenorrhea, protein in urine, excessive hair growth, and rapid weight gain. Any ideas?

I'm waiting for my appointment a few months from now I was just curious what could these symptoms mean:

I haven't had a period in six months and during that time I've gained weight rapidly (15 kg!). I'm much more hairy than I used to be (shaving is almost futile), especially facial hair.

When I did go for an appointment a few weeks ago I was told I had excess protein in my urine.

Any ideas? I'll know more when I go to my appointment but yet again I'm just wondering.

Note: Not pregnant, no medications, not a diabetic, and not on birth control.

PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) usually runs in your family, ask an aunt if they share your same symptoms. What it is in a nutshell is an ovary that tries to produce and release the egg and it gets stuck and forms a cyst. Usually this causes little or no periods and if you try to get pregnant, well, you can't. Most women take some type of birth control to help regulate everything which helps your body control the testosterone some since it causes all the hair, weight, etc. Then someday when you want to get pregnant your Dr. will put you on Glucophage to control your ovaries and so you can ovulate. I've found this all out the hard way so I hope this might help you out.

well, it could very well be PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) its a syndrome composed of Hirsurtism( abundant hair growth in face and genitals) weight gain, annovulation(meaning a woman doesn't ovulate) and Amennorreah ( not having a period for over 6 months, also you can have Hypothyroidism which makes you gain weight and lack of period. Excess protein in your urine may mean you probably have something wrong with your kidneys, I suggest going to an endocrinologist . Goodluck, and hope this helped.
