Women who live with polycystic ovary syndrome have recounted their experience.
They note that they have suffered from various medical experiences that range from irregular menstruation to unwieldy weight gain and struggles with fertility, among others.
One of the respondents,Mrs. Abimbola,said that by her mid-20s, she was menstruating only once or twice a year.
“I gained weight so easily, I often joked that I could gain weight just from breathing.
“Facial hairs became prominent in my late 20s and my voice got huskier. Often, I need to correct people on the phone that I am not a man,” she said.
