Nginesisindo esinempilo futhi anginaso isifo sikashukela. Kepha lokhu kusho ukuthi angibukeki njengowesifazane ojwayelekile one-PCOS.

Lokho akufanele kube yinto engidinga ukuyiveza; ngoba nje ngibukeka ngehlukile kunalokho obukulindele akusho ukuthi akunakwenzeka kimi ukuthi ngibe ne-PCOS. Ukuthi izimpawu zami azisabonakali akusho ukuthi anginayo i-PCOS. Kodwa ngike ngaba nodokotela abacabanga ukuthi babambe ifayili lesiguli esingalungile lapho bengibona, futhi ngiye ngabadokotela benza isimanga lapho bezwa ukuthi ngiphethwe yini. Kungakhathaza, kepha ngiyazi futhi ukuthi benginenhlanhla enkulu uma ngiqhathaniswa nabaningi; Ngatholwa ngineminyaka engu-16, futhi kwathatha odokotela bami izinyanga ezimbalwa ukuthola izinto. Ngenhlanhla udokotela wami wezingane wayazi okuningi nge-PCOS futhi wacabanga ukuthi ezinye zezimpawu zami zingase zikhombe, ngakho wangidlulisela kudokotela wezifo zabesifazane.

Ngokwalokho engikuzwile, lokhu kunjalo kakhulu okungajwayelekile. Abesifazane abaningi abatholi ukuthi bane-PCOS kuze kube yilapho bezama ukukhulelwa, futhi kwesinye isikhathi lolo lwazi luza kuphela ngemuva kweminyaka yokuxilongwa okungalungile nokulwa nemithi nokuzala.

Ngibe nenhlanhla yokuthi ukuxilongwa kwami ​​kuthathe izinyanga ezimbalwa nokuthi kuthathe iminyaka embalwa nje ukuxazulula iningi lezimpawu zami ezisheshayo, kepha ayikho indlela yokwazi ukuthi ngizoba nezinkinga ezihlobene ne-PCOS ngokuzayo , okuyithemba elisabisayo. I-PCOS yisifo esiyinkimbinkimbi ngokumangazayo esinezinkinga eziningi ezingaba khona.

Ukuqamba abambalwa: Abesifazane abane-PCOS basengozini enkulu yokuthola ukumelana ne-insulin, isifo sikashukela, i-cholesterol ephezulu, isifo senhliziyo, nokushaywa yisifo isikhathi sonke sokuphila kwethu. Kungenzeka futhi ukuthi sisengozini enkulu yokuthola umdlavuza we-endometrium.⁶ Ukuba ne-PCOS kungenza kube nzima ukukhulelwa, futhi kungadala nezinkinga zokukhulelwa njenge-preeclampsia, umfutho wegazi ophakanyiswe ukukhulelwa, isifo sikashukela sokukhulelwa, ukuzalwa ngaphambi kwesikhathi, noma ukukhulelwa kwesisu.⁷ Njengokungathi lezi zimpawu zomzimba azanele, nathi sinamathuba amaningi okuzwa ukukhathazeka nokudangala.
