Together with PCOD, for which she didn’t present actual complaints apart from pain of pins and needles during ovulation and during menses, frequent and scanty menses and hot pain to slightest touch at nipples (even of clothing). She complained also about acne (which appeared a few months before the PCOD diagnosis) and stitching pain in the stomach (like pins and needles) accompanied by nausea, coming on between 3-4 p.m. and aggravated by drinking.
