My heart really goes out to ladies who have to deal with this.

[BeccaUveges]

I have PCOS, with all these symptoms and a few more. It's hard to deal with sometimes. And for the longest time I thought I was unlovable because my condition affects my physical appearance, but when I met my now husband he didn't care what I looked like. He loves me for me and I'm truly thankful and greatful for him. 😊❤

[rosiily]

Have all these symptoms, not lying, PCOS is worst for any women, i cant wear the clothes i like, i have stopped wearing sleveless, i hide my neck and i am so insecure of my body. I wish this had a cure

[suindoe]

The best thing that I discovered is to avoid processed sugar. It's okay to have sugar every now and again in the form of fruit, but avoid cakes cookies, candies, even certain breads all together. I discovered that it regulates my skin, my weight, and my overall well-being.

This describes signs of PCOS and seems to also hint at the underlying cause if it, insulin resistance. An issue that is not being addressed in society

[Annie_Annie__]

I had no idea that skin tags were a sign.
I got diagnosed with PCOS ages ago and I have all the other signs mentioned, but I also get obnoxious skin tags. It never occurred to me that they’d be related.

[vintagebae]

Sad part is that there is no treatment for this, the world has advanced so much and we still don't have anything for it

[beholderofthehorrors]

I was diagnosed with PCOS in middle school after having 6-month breaks in between my periods. My mother also had it and had to get an ovary removed, consequently. It's incredible how it's not just a problem with your ovaries; it affects your whole body.

[Northward_Bound]

As someone who was diagnosed over a decade ago. There seems to be no real treatment... So, sucks for us I guess? My favorite is "lose weight" when you're not overweight, and *-wait for it-* PCOS makes it very difficult to lose weight. Or "go on BC" when that often makes your periods and cramps worse when they are already unbearable. Another W for women's

[SpyderMonki]

Symptoms, symptoms, symptoms. Can we get some treatment?!!

[antonellabaggio]

My blood reports are fine, I went to the gynecologist, my ovaries are completely normal, still I have hair on my upper lip, chin and belly. The gynecologist said it could be because of the phenotype. It's funny that my legs' hair are thinner and lighter than the ones on my face and they grow so fast!

[laftd]

I appreciate there are examples from multiple skin tones. It's usually just the one

[ktaylor]

recently diagnosed with PCOS, & i struggle with most of these. i am lucky to have a great dr who prescribed me metformin (a medication to help with my insulin resistance) and suggested i take berberine 1000mg supplement 2x a day (a naturally forming enzyme that helps regulate hormones, and therefore will hopefully help to lower the high levels of testosterone in my body). just sharing in case there is any other women who were recently diagnosed but don’t feel as though their dr is suggesting enough treatment for them!

[ShayonceEpperson]

This is sad I feel bad for any woman that has to go through this ❤

[skeptic]

One doctor said I can't have PCOS since I have no evidence of skin problems on my face. Before this, I have been on and off medroxprogesterone, and have had 3 d&cs to deal with excessive bleeding. I have always had good skin no matter what was happening in my health. Find the right doctors. I am glad the knowledge of PCOS. I have lost so much blood, I once had a hemoglobin of 6 when it should be 12-14.

[giftfromabove]

Also hyper pigmentation on the cheeks usually on the side of the face where contour make up is usually applied is usually a sign of Insulin resistance.

[Serachb]

Love that you post photos of people with different skin tones. Very important to recognize how symptoms show up in different ethnic groups

[wardahmz]

I was diagnosed with PCOS, had a surgery and still have all these symptoms. Dieting and fasting are huge struggles even after years. Slow to loose but fast to gain. My family knew about PCOS and this surgery but they choose to be ignorant. I guess it's easy to shout ' you're fat' or 'just loose weight' or 'don't be lazy'.

[ChocolateParadisePrincess]

I'm so sorry for anyone else dealing with these problems, but I'm also glad i'm not the only one who knows these struggles. It's so damaging to my self esteem as a woman. Praise god I found a man who isn't bothered by these issues I have. It might be sad for people to hear, but he's been such a blessing for me to feel normal with a lot of these problems, and acquire better self esteem.

More medical professionals need to speak up and share all they know to those with PCOS. I am 46, was diagnosed in a flippant manner by an uncaring physician at 27 after 4 years of Bosley visits, rheumatologists, no answers, then a cold delivery of, 'you may not be able to have children'. (!) I died a little that day, alone crying while he walked out of the door.
It was this YEAR- 2024, that I was handed my first piece of literature, a small booklet that was titled PCOS and contained any sort of ideas to better manage my life. This basic booklet came with a hefty nutritionist bill, but why isn't this handed to someone earlier in their life? I hope more experts will help anyone affected more warmly and with true concern from here on out. Happy note: With some difficulty and patience I was able to carry my one child, healthfully and to term. She's turning 13 this month. Please hang in there, keep researching and finding a compassionate endocrinologist can be a godsend. We shouldn't suffer through any medical condition without care and real-life treatment information ❤
