Sounds like she could have poly-cystic ovarian syndrome. POCS will cause irregular periods, weight gain - especially in the abdomen, facial hair, thinning head hair, painful periods, etc. The cause is usually a hormonal imbalance and cysts in the ovaries. I experience POCS symptoms (however, my period is regular just very heavy), but I haven't had any ovarian cysts. Talk with the OBGYN about this.
