You poor thing! I agree with the posters here that an endocrinologist would probably be the best place to start. However, having had the experience of residing in a place where there are no full-time endocronologists available (small town, mid-western America), if you can't find an endocronologist a good internist can also help you with all of these issues. Look for an office that consists only of internists so if you have any emergencies you can always see whatever doctor is available. I'm diabetic and take preventative medication for high cholesterol / blood pressure, and although an endocronologist was not available where I live I have been extremely happy with my internist. Ask around or ask your current doctor's office for a referral. Your symptoms don't sound good, so you probably need to get checked right away to make sure you haven't crossed over into becoming a full diabetic. Good luck to you; hope you feel better soon!

in the beginning, do no longer douche and don't pass to Wal-Mart or the different pharmacy to purchase something to self medicate. additionally, be careful of every physique who's waiting to diagnose you on Yahoo solutions without an examination. There must be many motives for the scent however the only thank you to make certain is to verify a doctor. making use of condoms are actually not a hundred% useful against being pregnant or STDs. Douching will harm your physique. Please see a doctor or a women persons's wellness sanatorium as quickly as achieveable. good success!

I'd go to an endocrinologist. You probably need a complete diet overhaul and natural hormone replacement, probably beginning with bio-identical progesterone.
Here's a list of symptoms that indicate hormone imbalances:

You might want to print it and take it to your doctor.
Also, with the weight, diabetes and high triglycerides, you'll probably need to stop eating sugar and simple carbs-- those things are really causing a lot of damage to your body.
Take care of yourself.

I sounds like and endocrinologist would be your best bet. They specialize in hormones, diabetes, etc.
If you have insurance, check your policy. You may need a referral from a GP for complete coverage.

You need to be seen by an endrocronologist ( I hope I spelled it right) They are experts in diabetes , metobolic and hormone disorders.
