Terribly sorry if this is too personal Moddy, but I noticed you mentioned having something named POCS on another post and I was wondering what that was?
You good nonny, I don’t mind answering, since I mentioned it first.
So, Pcos, or polycystic ovary syndrome, is exactly what the long name implies, I have cyst like growths on my ovaries and there are a few types apparently, Insulin-resistant PCOS, Inflammatory PCOS, Hidden-cause PCOS, and Pill-induced PCOS.
I’m not sure why I have it but due to having it, my hormones are pretty fucked up, which has caused me no small amount of body dysmorphia unfortunately as I have some male pattern hair growth for one and for another I have thinning of my hair. As a child I used to have thick hair if thin hair strands, that changed as a teen however when the PCOS got active, causing my hair to thin out, to the point its now extremely fine and silky but also thin and I worry I might turn so thin in the hair my scalp become visible.
There are other things I’ve had due to it, though I don’t want to get into details. But some of the symptoms are high levels of stress, high blood pressure, sleep disorders, infertility, skin allergies, acne, dandruff, pelvic pain, depression, and low libido for one.
Thankfully, the cysts are benign even if they cause… issues.
So yeah, that’s Pcos.
If you want to learn more you might wanna look it up on wikipedia or something lol
