Victoria Monét on the journey behind her PCOS diagnosis:
“I hadn't heard about it in all my gynecology appointments. I hadn't heard about it until I went to go see a doctor named Dr. Aliabadi, and she let me know that this is what's going on with my body, and she was showing me the ultrasounds of like literal cysts in my ovaries, and I'm like, wait, it kind of makes sense because I had been in really long relationships where, quite candidly, that we weren't using protection and I never got pregnant until my big age. So I'm like, oh, I understand now it was more difficult for me to do so.
But there's a lot of people and women operating in the world that have no idea what those letters mean, what that disease is or the condition is, that there is no cure for it and how to go about it and combat whatever hormonal changes are happening within it. The symptoms are things for people who don't know:
Facial hair, like overgrowth; Weight challenges, and you feel like you're eating really healthy, but there's some things that you can't control as far as your body and the fluctuations within your weight; Hormonal imbalances; Really intense period cramps. Maybe even you've gone to an ultrasound and they've seen something in there. And I don't know if all doctors are privy to tell you that this is PCOS [Polycystic ovary syndrome]”.
