Hidden Battle of PCOS
<p>Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is more than just a medical condition; it's a lifelong battle that millions of women fight in silence. It's the unexplained weight gain that refuses to budge despite endless diets. It's the acne that persists long after adolescence, the irregular cycles that leave uncertainty, and the excessive hair growth in places it shouldn't be-all while losing it from where it belongs.</p><p><img src="/media/inline_insight_image/vaebaebbbt.jpg" alt=""></p><p>Beyond the physical symptoms, PCOS is an emotional rollercoaster. The frustration of misdiagnosis, the societal stigma surrounding infertility, the anxiety and depression that creep in-these are the hidden wounds no one talks about. Women with PCOS are often told to "just lose weight" as if their bodies aren't waging war against them every single day.</p><p><img src="/media/inline_insight_image/7077170.jpg" alt=""></p><p>Women with PCOS are more likely to experience anxiety, depression, and mood swings due to the hormonal imbalances that come with the condition. High levels of androgens, insulin resistance, and fluctuating estrogen and progesterone levels can disrupt neurotransmitters, leading to emotional instability. The toll of dealing with persistent symptoms, societal pressure, and body image struggles can make even daily life feel overwhelming.</p><p><img src="/media/inline_insight_image/aeveabvaebaeb.jpg"></p><p>To every woman battling PCOS: You are not alone. Your struggle is valid, and your strength is immeasurable. Keep fighting, keep speaking up, and never let PCOS define you.</p><p>Nurse.Tife</p>
