This week Morgan sits in the host seat as she interviews Stacey about her struggles with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and its side effects like acne. PCOS is a common hormonal condition that affects 1 in 10 women of childbearing age so if you think you don’t have it or know anyone with PCOS…think again.
PCOS can cause a variety of symptoms, such as irregular periods, excess androgen levels, cysts in the ovaries, and fertility problems. It can also increase the risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and depression…sounds fun doesn’t it?! Listen in as Stacey and Morgan talk about the journey of getting a diagnosis and the medical gaslighting ensues. Thanks for listening, and remember: do it for the story!
