I'm 18. No family or personal history of serious ovarian problems. Not sexually active. 5 weeks ago I started gaining weight below my belly button. My uterus feels bloated, swollen and full as if there's a lot of pressure inside. I need to urinate more often. My period has never been normal but it's not drastically irregular either. There's no pain but just discomfort. Do I have PCOS or something?

There are usually symptom associated with PCOS, such as weight gain (not just in one area), increase hair growth or male pattern baldness (in women), acne, irregular or no periods, and high blood sugar. If those sound like symptoms you're experiencing, talk with your doctor. PCOS is usually diagnosed through blood tests and treated with diet.
What you're describing sounds a lot more like fibroid tumors. Fibroid are non-cancer related tumors that are very common in women of child-bearing ages. They are commonly removed surgically, if they grow large enough. Often, when fibroid are smaller, no treatment is given for them at all, and the women can get pregnant and deliver healthy babies.
I still suggest you go to see your doctor. If you're worried, and feeling discomfort, you should find out what's going on. Even if its something simple, that doesn't require treatment, the peace of mind of knowing that will make you feel better.

It could be alot of things. The best thing to do is make an appointment immediately with your gyno or primary care doctor and have it checked out. It could be nothing but it could be something serious best to catch whatever it is as soon as possible, even if it is as simply as prescribing antibiotics. Have it checked out as soon as possible. Good luck, feel better.

If you are not sexually active and not pregnant you should get checked at your doctors for a urinary tract infection as they can cause you to feel full and have frequent and urgent urination.
