“Majority of women with PCOS consider themselves unattractive and are most likely having their negative self-image.” The following experience has been shared by one of the nutritionists about the PCOS patients.

It is to be noted that, she has encapsulated the entire details in one of the research findings comprising, details about the PCOS patients. No matter how capable a person is, if she is suffering from any hormonal disorder, then it is a matter of most concern for her.

In today’s era, where so many health problems arise, the most common hormonal complication is PCOS.

PCOS, also known as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, is a hormonal disorder causing enlarged ovaries with small cysts on the outer edges.

It is a condition in which the ovaries produce an abnormal number of androgens, male sex hormones that are more often present in women in small amounts.

Notably, there is a lot of scientific data that represents a woman with this hormonal disorder who feels moody partly because of the imbalance of hormones in their body.

One of the sick persons shared that her family thinks she’s lazy, but she’s just tired of this problem as it impacts her whole life.

Her partner thinks she is aggressive and moody, but she’s just misunderstood.

How would it feel to know that a woman who is trying to come out of this disorder by always being on a diet is made fun of this by her friends as they wonder why she is doing this while she is trying her best.

A woman who is not able to sleep properly due to this, her parents think that she is on the phone at night while she is looking out for some cure.

It is not easy to live a life in this chaos where a person neither feels confident nor beautiful as PCOS have a higher risk of developing health problems in later life, such as type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol levels.
