“Polycystic ovarian syndrome has been attacking me from the inside out my entire life and I had no idea. My acne has been so bad that people in my field offered to pay for me to get it fixed. I tried EVERYTHING. I did Accutane TWICE. People say drink water, have a better diet, but I did all that, I ate all the 'right' things, my blood tests were fine. But it took ME taking a personal look into my family that has a history of diabetes and obesity to understand what was ACTUALLY happening with me. And unfortunately doctors are people and if you don’t 'look the part' they may not think that’s your problem. They may not even suggest it if you 'look healthy', whatever that means! I came to a doctor in tears once and all they offered was a measles vaccine... Exactly (sic).
"My skin has made me sad many nights but I do not give up on myself. I know this is not me and my body has been looking for help,” she posted.
PCOS is a very common hormone problem for women of childbearing age.
Women with PCOS may not ovulate, have high levels of androgens, and have many small cysts on the ovaries.
PCOS can cause missed or irregular menstrual periods, excess hair growth, acne, infertility, and weight gain.
