PCOS Suffering

​

There was a time when my body felt like it was working against me. Some days, I didn’t even want to be in it because everything felt stressful and uncomfortable. That was when my PCOS was at its worst: acne, redness, hot flushes, bloating, thinning hair, low energy, digestive issues, and missing periods. I didn’t know my diagnosis, and visits to doctors left me frustrated and unheard. I could see how my symptoms were connected, but the system treated them separately, and no one could give me answers for years.

Diagnoses and Treatments

​

Finally, I received a PCOS diagnosis. The relief of confirmation quickly gave way to fear. It wasn’t curable, and there was no official treatment. Thoughts spiraled. Would I ever become a mother? Only through IVF? Who would choose someone with hormonal swings, bloating, and acne?

​

The first treatment offered was contraception, which I refused. An artificial cycle does not restore health or fertility. By saying no, I began a journey of lifestyle change, mindset work, and later, self-discovery and inner healing. I’m well aware that self-discovery and inner transformation might sound abstract or unfamiliar, but don’t worry. In my work, I explain this with real-life examples of how we think, the beliefs we carry, and why they might affect us negatively. I’m sure you will understand it soon.

A Holistic Perspective

​

Through lifestyle and mindset changes, I reversed my symptoms and got my period back within three months. Even as my body improved, I kept asking: Why does PCOS occur? What is the root cause? Even science cannot say for sure whether the root cause of PCOS is hormonal, metabolic, genetic, or a combination of these. This uncertainty left me restless, but reflecting on the changes I had made intuitively gave me new meaning and direction. I searched for evidence, studied research, and gained clarity about the underlying causes of PCOS, which are not only physical but also energetic, emotional, and mental.

​

This holistic perspective taught me that PCOS symptoms are messengers signaling deeper imbalances across body, mind, and spirit. Healing requires addressing all levels. Once harmony is restored, symptoms naturally fade.

What This Journey Gave Me

​

The journey demanded effort, patience, and dedication, but it was transformative. I evolved into a healthier, happier, more joyful, and loving version of myself. The lessons reshaped my relationships, my career, and daily life. Today, I am deeply grateful for my PCOS journey because it allowed me to grow and thrive.
