My girlfriend that is 16 has some things wrong with her. I'm not sure if I should be worried or not?
1. She has alot of excess body hair. On her butt and her belly and chin.
2. She doesn't get her periods which scares me because until she told me about it I thought she was pregnant.
3. Her arm pits are really dark.
She's sort of overweight could some of these things be wrong with her because of her weight?
I'm worried about her and it's not very arousing either.

They ran a blood test a month ago on her and it came back fine. They said they checked for thyroid and hormone imbalances and said those were fine too.
She's not on birthcontrol either.

sounds like she may have a hormonal imbalance of some sort, i would strongly recommend that she see a doctor to find out why she is experiencing these symptons. good on you for caring, maybe you could go with her for additional support

It sound like your girlfriend could have polycystic ovaries which can cause a hormone imbalance. Hormone imbalances lead to all the things that you have mentioned maybe she should go on birth control to Evan out her hormones. She should also see a doctor. The best thing that you can do is give her support and make her feel beautiful because its very hard for older women let alone a 16 year old.

Having been through all kinds of medical training and beauty college, the condition she has sounds like hirsutism which means she overproduces testosterone (the male chemical that causes beards, etc). Other causes could be polycystic ovary syndrome, Cushing's disease, endocrine problems, obesity, and the list goes on!
I would encourage her to see a physician as there are treatments available, but the treatment plan will have to be directed toward what is causing the problem.
