Intro to PCOS

I wrote this a while back on the notes section of facebook. I thought it would be a good opener today. TO explain exactly what PCOS is for me. The URL looks like men pcos. But it really is meNpcos.blogspot.com as in me and pcos. It affects me greatly and people don't understand that or even try to understand it in my family. No matter how many times I have presented information to them. They just don't try to understand at all. This blog and my other one about my life. Are going to be the ones I use to communicate to people from now on. Anyway. Here is the snippet from facebook I wrote almost 2 years ago. PCOS( polycystic ovary syndrome) or PCOD (polycystic ovary disease) Is a disease that affects 1 in 10 women.

The symptoms of PCOS can include cysts on the ovaries, hair growth, hair loss, more weight around the mid-section and acne among other things. The actual cause of PCOS is still unknown. It is however known to be associated with high insulin and androgen levels and low progesterone levels. I found out I had PCOS when i was 17 making it 2 years ago. when i was diagnosed my doctors told me I had a severe case and would need to have kids by the time I am 26 if i wanted them. Living with PCOS and knowing all of this has been hell for me for the last 2 years.

I have always loved kids. sometimes it is painful for me to see people and their kids knowing what battle might lie ahead for me. I do have 4 wonderful nephews and a niece whom I love and hope to see more of in the coming future. Most of them i never see or don't see often but i love very much. I know I will always have them even if i don't have kids of my own. I still do however, want to have a child and experience parenthood. there is always adoption as an option but having this disease and knowing this puts that's much more pressure on me. People always wonder why I'm so mature for my age, why I am so independent. This is one of the reasons why.

I have had a lot of experiences in my life that I have learned from them, things that include family issues, life experiences, personal issues and illnesses along with observance of people and the way they handle problems. Having this disease puts me at a higher risk for diabetes, heart attack and even endometrial cancer. I do know two other people with this same disease which makes it easier to cope with, but doesn't totally eliminate the worry that comes with PCOS. Hopefully now you can have a better understanding of what 1 in every 10 women deals with in their life.
