Join Benedicta Omoruyi and I on this episode as she shares her story with PCOS. The ups and downs with her battles. I hope we learn from it and be kinder with others.
I used to have it but God healed me. My periods used to stay up to 6 months apart but right now it's so regular and very healthy. I have children and my weight very ok. God is still in the business of healing people. I got tired of taking medications and cried to God after years of infertility
I suffered with PCOS for 5yrs after my first child I did not even know, I was just not getting pregnant no mata how much sex I had or position I do. Visited a gnea in 2002 Dec, and I was told I had PCOS and multiple fibroids with a weight of 93kg was placed on metformin and was told to loss just 10kg cause I was trying to conceive, I took my weight journey serious in January2022 and in 4months I weighed 72kg and that same year I got pregnant and in 2023 my 2baby boys (twins) came forth. The pregnancy came with lot of fears and worries but God saw us through it. No fibroid operation, I carried my boys till 37wks and 1days. God is still in the business of doing miracles.
I was diagnosed with PCOS 5yrs ago at the age of 28yrs old. I made intensive research about it, and I started taking measures like taking metformin, combination3, and bromogen tablet for high prolactin. Stop soda and unhealthy meals. Always checking my fasting sugar and blood pressure. Also, my Urine LH level during ovulation. And managing my health as a medical laboratory scientist. Got married 3rd of January 2023, and by 28th of January 2023 I got a positive pregnancy test. Half-way through my pregnancy journey now. I will share my PCOS journey in details in my RUclips channel soonest.
Wow, it's so nice that someone could come out and share their story. Sometimes, I feel like I was born with PCOS, cause I've been so hairy since birth and family will tell me it's because I'm just hairy. Then I've always had irregular period from the onset, I started my period pretty late when I was in SS2 and it does get worse as you grow older. I've always heard people gaining weight dueto it but mine was the complete opposite. I lose weight. I hardly sleep and yh, still a student but awfully stressed out. Tried lots of stuff to gain weight but it doesn't work. And sometimes, I get comfortable with not having my periods regularly cause having it is just not comfortable because I get heavy ones. But.... Sometimes, you get worried I did test and scan, was told I don't have PCOS and it's just hormonal imbalance but I was having all the symptoms and all but no cyst and the fact that I was the only one in my family with that issue My skin also was not making it easy, from facial hair to melasma, to skin tones. My skin got darker and it became lighter and had people tell me face to face I was using bleaching cream when I was not. Also, the look and stigmatization especially from males when they find out you have facial hair.But I've learned to love myself as I am and decided to just stay healthy and enjoy the life God has given me. When it's time to have kids, God will take perfect control. Sorry for the long story, I just needed a place to dump my story and glad I could. Everybody's story is different, but to all women out there, just stay healthy and love yourself with a Kung-Fu grip. Lead a Godly life and be at peace, everything will be fine
I can't count how many nights I wake up and cry. Now I am better, I learnt to put myself first. Love and kisses to every girl every woman leaving with PCOS.
It is very relieving to get a partner who understands and believes God will heal you. I have battled PCOS for about 20+ years and am 35 now. I got my miracle baby after 5 years of marriage. It's been a journey of faith and total surrender to God. Dr. You are doing a great job, God bless you.
Thank you for sharing this, I was diagnosed in 2020, missed my period for about 5-6 months February till july. All thanks to God I was still studying in India so with proper medication, proper diet and God, I have seen my period regularly since July 2020 till now.
I was diagnosed before i got married, i wasn't ovulating, i missed periods, i was adding unnecessary weight. I went to the hospital, i was diagnosed with PCOS, hormonal imbalance. The treatments were so expensive. Thank God for his healing, i have 3kids now and my periods are regular, still dealing with weight issues and painful periods.
I had PCOS and hyperprolactin at the same time...I almost run mad the mental aspect of treating them.... bromocripton side effects Money, test Overall the I almost lost my mind
I was diagnosed with PCOS 10yrs ago at the age of 22. I had a scan and yes I had polycystic ovaries. I have high androgen levels. What’s worse for me is no matter how many medications I’m given, I barely menstruate. Sometimes 8months straight, no monthly flow of blood. However, every month, i go through the signs of ovulation. I was given iron meds to increase my blood levels but it’s not working. I have serious acne. Between 2012 and now, i have gained like 40kg in total. I was exercising, eating healthy yet I just wasn’t shedding the weight. I can go more than 30hrs without sleep. If I force myself to sleep, I get migraines Living with PCOS has not been easy for me but I’m trying and managing. I recently relocated from Ghana. I have an appointment next month with a specialist. I am still hopeful To every woman out there living with PCOS, YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!!
Some times I just wonder y I have to go through dis…. I feel really sad… I have been on medications, fasting and praying, and working on my diet … may God almighty answer every woman that wants to carry their own babies… i very sure I will sing my new song soon 🙏🙏 with God everything is possible
I can relate with this, first it was ovarian cyst, then turn to PCOS, I batled with so many years, then i went for another test and scan then i have PCOS and BIG FIBROID,i was hearbroken, depressed😢, but my husband is so supportive be with me through all the journey, its not easy, there are time i will menstruate for a whole month, and some years i won't menstruate for more than 6 months. Thick voice, facial hair,abdominal and chest hair, depresssion, sleepless night but after alot of prayer and treatment i have a BABY BOY now,to anyone passing through this you're not alone......God will come through for us❤
I found out i had PCOS at 15, and I've been living with it for 5 years now. One thing I've come to discover is as i grow older, my symptoms just worsen. The year i found out i had PCOS, i didn't see my period for 8 months straight, and now i haven't seen my period in 1 year, 4 months. Facial hair itself is a struggle. Emotional imbalance is another thing on its own. I can't count days that ive broken down because of my emotional struggle. Of recent, I decided to embark on a rigorous weight loss journey and it just worsened my abdominal pain. Women living with PCOS are going through a lot and its so saddening to see that society does not care at all.
I suffered from PCOS since I was a teenager, my period will cease for months, after marriage, I started taking medications, I began to eat less and healthy to shed weight, after losing 15kg, I was prescribed letrozole and I got pregnant on the first trial, in the middle of this, I prayed effortlessly. I am officially going for an ultra sound tomorrow. pCOS is not the end of someone's life.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I was recently diagnosed with PCOS after years of not feeling like myself, and knowing something is wrong. The depression is real, the fatigue is extreme, and the solutions are very confusing and hard to determine and navigate. Thank you for reaffirming the importance of putting yourself first in getting healthy and educated. With much love from Miami!
I'm 19 and i have irregular periods My mom took me to the hospital and the doctor told me that I have Anemia and my hormones are imbalance Ive been on drugs for three months. But I'm off the drugs now and i didn't see my period this month I'll be going to the hospital tomorrow again 😢 hopefully it's not PCOS but if it is then i believe that my God is bigger than PCOS
Just get pregnant my dear. I wish I had known I would have gotten pregnant at an early age because it's going to worsen at some point and you will regret
Me watching this and being intensely fatigued from my PCOS 😄 I have accepted my fate and do my best with my overall health. I really don't care what people think of me. Na me know wetin dey do me.
Managing Pcos is very expensive…so many of us can’t afford the lifestyle changes advised talk more of the medications..it’s tiring…….I’m at a point where I’m just living and hoping that one day everything will be fine cos I don tire
I feel like I am the one talking.She is a strong lady. I went through almost all the experiences she has explained. My periods have been abit stable after childbirth but I still struggle alot with weight. Courage to all experiencing PCOS.We are special so let no man make you feel bad about yourself. Thank you for sharing
Pcos isn't a joke oh its the mood swings, pains, weight gain nd many more. 1 year no period worst part is I enjoyed it. It can't be cured but you can fight it, not easy to fight but you can. Getting pregnant is hard with pcos but if I can do it you can do it guys.
PCOS is a devil 😈,l swear Am still struggling with mine. My weight gain is crazy from 70kg to 110kg My 9yrs relationship ended because of PCOS weight gain. My mental health Is affected, My skin is extremely bad Menstrual dissoder Only upper body weight gain ooooo my butt n thighs are tiny n my breast n tummy is biggggg ,hmmmmmmm I will keep typing if l don't control. Am from Ghana, love ur videos Sir Thank you
@@Ojimsj_C True that we have our role to play. Regardless, I always need Jesus' strength/help to play my part. Again, Jesus can give her rest and restore all that she has lost. #soundmentalhealthANDmore
PCOS is diabetes of the ovaries, caused by too much insulin in the body as a result of a high carb diet. A low carb diet (or keto if you’re able to) and intermittent fasting is the solution.
I'm in the office now and I have tears in my eyes because, I also have this challenge. Between 2016 and 2018, I was really depressed. I dreaded staying in school hostels, I was really isolated because I didn't know how to explain to some of my friends why I don't menstruate so most times, I will just buy pads so that when any of them is running out of theirs and they ask from me I can give them so that it looks like I also have my monthly cycle. I've tried drugs of course, prescribed ones but, it seem as though until I use these drugs the flow doesn't come, I just had to stop using them. The last test I did said my progesterone level is low, I was placed on Provera drugs. I just stopped because I couldn't imagine that I'm taking drugs to have menstruation. I'm adding up but people think it's enjoyment that is causing it (lol). I've stopped any medication now and I'm trusting God for my healing. I'm married now and somehow I'm anxious about fertility but, my trust is in God now and not drugs.
I'm glad there's a lot of exposure coming to PCOS. A lot of people are insensitive to people with PCOS and sadly, I have dealt with the worst of them, while struggling with really bad symptoms. I'm in a better place now, doing what I can...exercising, trying to eat clean, reducing stress, going for laser hair removal when I can, educating those who are willing to listen and avoiding toxic and insensitive relationships. Sending love and light to every lady who is dealing with PCOS. Stay courageous ❤ Thanks Benny and Dr Nonso for sharing this story.
By the way kudos to your cinematographer/videographer/cameraperson, and editor ❤ The color and lightning in these videos are cool. Simple and beautiful.
Managing PCOS tends to be expensive. I wish something could be done about the costs. My major issue with PCOS aside the rude comments about being fat, has to be the skin problems. Spent a lot seeing dermatologists and yet, nothing. It can be frustrating.
I was diagnosed with PCOS a few years ago and its not been easy. Irregular menses,Facial hair and weight issues. I have spent lots of money on Supplements but when I was ready to have a child, it was really difficult. Thankfully I have been able to have a child through IVF. We need a lot more Education on PCOS
Dr thanks for this topic, this is my life oooo,going to 7 years of marriage no child.....have been diagnosed with this so called pcos....I know that God will see me through and bless me with my own children through the medications am on now .
Lots of hugs and love dear Benny. I pray for healing upon everyone living with PCOS. I pray that Jesus will keep taking care of us and our health be restored.
I watched this with tears in my eyes I don't know why. I have suffered with PCOS and I feel alone, misunderstood, judged, lost and even depressed sometimes. Love and light to people like me out there.
I was diagnosed with Amenorrhea, and it was as if my life was coming to an end, I was depressed but I took the drugs given to me by the doctor, I saw my period months later, I am an 18year old, I pray, I see it next month, because the experience can be so heart breaking 😢
Wow.. this is my first real expose to PCOS. To think that one I’m every six women have PCOS and yet people are so ignorant about it is incredible. Well done doctor
PCOS is deeper than the surface. There is a solution but you have to be 100% willing. Im writing my testimony story soon + all of my years of research . Too many women are suffering
Double love for this episode. I think our educational system should include the knowledge of PCOS in the Secondary school curriculum as it is a very common condition and those who have it will be better equipped to manage it and those who don't will know how to better respond to those who do. Because you either have it or someone close to you does and it's a real thing.
My life story, I was diagnosed of PCOS when I was 27, before then I've been missing my period back to back then in secondary school. Funny enough I was happy but I never knew that not seeing my period was as a result of PCOS, my period has always been painful and lengthy even till date , I started noticing facial hairs,my lower belly got puffy, I became very conscious of it just when I herd about it over the radio. It's been a Rocky journey all along however I changed my diet, reluctantly started exercising then sleep more but the mood swings haaa no be here o. But God will help us, I want to have children and live free of it and I will continue to seek better ways to get it off.
I don't know what to say and how to explain mine .....but am still battling with mine and praying while talking my drugs....shout out to every woman who are battling this so called syndrome may God heal us...... Amen
With me was constant headaches, facial hairs, high blood pressure, irregular periods/ lost of period,,,, i started a healthy lifestyle lost a lot of weight n still very active at the gym, mind my carb intake n food in general,,, have been doing well, got my period back, no headaches, loosing weight,, just a new lifestyle in general to help me be healthy…
Pls one of the contributing factor is woman behaving like male, wearing male clothes,some lady they don't have gown but trousers and male wear, before you know you brian will start releasing male hormone ,bco they are confuse about your personality
Sending love and positivity to all the women battling PCOS. You are not alone. I was once diagnosed with PCOS in 2019 when I had abdominal pain but I don't have any of its symptoms. I see my periods regularly, I don't have facials hairs, I don't gain mysterious weight. The only thing I battle with is acne and now watching PCOS related videos and reading through this comment section, I keep asking myself, Do I really have PCOS???
Thanks for sharing your story. I think there's no direct management for PCOS, different physicians with different management plans. PCOS affects the physical and the mental aspect of a woman's life . Presently battling with PCOS and infertility . Always watching videos, browsing and trying different things. Currently on inositol and vitex. Hoping and praying for the best.
I can really relate with this video. It is not easy living with infertility brought on by things you overlooked and didn't know could even affect you. I was diagnosed with Asherman's syndrome and also later with PCOS. Going in and out of the hospital without getting desired results is really depressing. Feeling all these symptoms and pains that comes with it both mentally and physically. The weight sometimes affects one's esteem and one just builds a wall and tries to have thick skin. Having a good partner and support system has also helped me cope. Thanks for speaking up sis. Thanks doctor for this video.
After struggling for 3 yrs of irregular periods I have vissited gynecology and 18 Dec 2023 I was introduced to this condition PCOS I never had an idea of what it was I worried cried feel lost & never shared the news with any one any woman undergoing this someone somewhere is feeling the same
No one is talking about low sexual libido/ vaginal dryness/ painful sex? That is one thing that causes misunderstanding with my husband As much as I try to explain and he tries to understand He still can’t wrap his head around the height of it Sometimes I just feel I should have healed before dragging that poor man into my problems you know Too many symptoms going on at the same time
I'm so sorry that you're experiencing this. I go dry too. The sex gets so painful. 🥺 It's so frustrating 'cause my libido is f-ng high yet, I can't even enjoy sex. I don't even look forward to it. This shit has ruined many relationships of mine. Has been the case for me until I met a patient man. I explained everything to him and he understood and took care of me. It's been good since then. I hope it gets better for you because I believe sex is something everyone should enjoy.
I'm glad I found this video. It's all I need to know about PCOS. And it's so sad that there isn't enough knowledge about this despite how common it is. I hope you find healing someday 🥺. And I hope all the women dealing with this get all the support they need and crave.
Ohhh my diagnosis was during covid times and ohh my God ! It was quite an experience. I thank God for the gift of knowledge coz most things I knew about PCOS is from the internet from people’s experiences
Thank you so much. I'm currently going through this. Best thing was when I finally got to know what exactly was wrong with me. It's really not easy living with PCOS
just have to share, I am hoping this inspires others struggling. I have PCOS and I remember how I felt when the doctor told me it would be difficult for me to concieve naturally,I now have 4 children, very successful pregnancies, God blessed me with the use of herbs.
This video is for me... An innocent woman like me has suffered alot from PCOs and no one seems to understand, Acne and irregular period has really dealt with me... Thank God I am not alone 🤸.
It's not easy to even talk about it I'll say I've had PCOS since I was born, everybody's symptoms are different. I fir one have polycystic ovaries, I'm hypertensive, constant body pain , headaches, male pattern hair, the more I try to lose weight the more I get bigger, it's as if I have all the symptoms, I've had missed periods of 8 months , abdominal pains the list goes on. I'm now trying to treat it and the doctors prescribed hormonal birth control pills only for it to make my blood pressure high . I'm already tired of going to the hospital it's not even getting better I've spent alot throughout this treatment journey. Thank you for sharing your experience ❤️ I hope and pray we all get better 🙏. And thank you aproko doctor it was because of the whispa app, I started treatment
I can relate.. had similar experience, the painful part is people don't understand what women with PCOS go through. I found out about PCOS when trying to conceive. It's really really draining. But I thank God I'm expecting now but currently battling with gestational diabetes.
Consistent pelvic pain prompted me to do a pelvic scan and on two occasions it detected PCOS. I was calm though because I have a little knowledge about it and because there's treatment but when I saw the cost of the test I was like ah they should make it affordable so that women with conditions like this will get treatment. The weight gain and the thoughts of not being able to conceive is really depressing 🥺🥺
I watched this crying, like a baby. I'm a teenager who can relate to this 😄. Thank you Aprokodoctor I've never regretted following you. I hope to share my story to the ones coming after me. And I pray I heal❤️. Loves and hugs to you and Chef Amaka🤗
Benedicta is really a strong woman🎉. It was obvious in her composition and all. Even when she was discussing emotional moments of her life, she didn’t even feel teary. Thank you so much for the exposure and I could relate to the symptoms because I have couple of friends with this medical condition. Like you said, we will all be fine What I really learnt from the video is to never be insensitive to other people’s feelings or conditions.
I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2020 and I've been battling it for three years now. From expensive tests, to abdominal pains to fluctuating weight gain and loss. As I grow older, the symptoms keep worsening. Right now, the weight is back again and it came with acne.😀💔 Everyone keeps asking me why I'm getting bigger 😂 I've heard older women talk about PCOS and what it does to them and all the infertility and psychological effects and all ... But above all; Women with PCOS, we rock ❤️🙂
I had PCOS after my second baby,my period stopped for 4 good years, no ovulation,no period and no pregnancy. My husband is an only son so more children were expected especially when doctors told me nothing else can be done. I cried like my life depended on it and God showed up. Now l have more four kids and very healthy. Hold on to God for perfect healing.
Thank you so much for sharing this!!! Suffer same thing, and mine is even worse at the moment cause I haven't seen my period in about 7months now, but I'm not gaining weight, and I am even so scared to go spend money on scan and tests again. Plus my facial hairs isn't helping at the moment, but I'm working on that by God's grace. Thank youuuu💚
I was diagnosed with PCOS one year ago and it's killing me, my hormones are bad. I have changed everything. Nothing works. In fact I am currently going through depression and I hope God comes through
Watching this clip has made me reflect on my story. I suffered PCOS for 5yrs, carried out couple of scan and blood test, was placed on combination 3 tablet which kept increasing my weight, In a whole year I menstruate once but after 6months OXG recommended primolut n tablet to induce flow. But God healed me at Shiloh 2020 at winners church. It's been steady since then on a monthly basis, no medication no treatment from that day till now....God can do all things
How many months did you take primolut-N? Because I took it after almost one year of period absence for one month it came and I was told it was going to be regular for almost six months that I should try to get pregnant on that month I was given clomid too but unfortunately I failed get a man to have sex with to get pregnant
This was really educative. I’ve being hearing about PCOS but I never knew what it was about, just knew it had to do with hormonal imbalance but didn’t know it had severe symptoms like this.
Mine is worse. I remember one time I was in a meeting and I stood up and blood was all over the chair. Sometimes I could go 4 months without menses. I did lots of tests and the diagnosed pcos. It's been a struggle. Some times if don't see it for months I start feeling bloated. The hairs on my shin and all. Now I fear I might be infertile. See I don't like menses and it's problems but I'd rather be seeing it every month than what I am passing through
My dear the lord is your strength I hv nd know many with it and hv given birth just get the right doctor oh not all dz quack nd unnecessary expensive doctor no join. Am a living witness and I hv hlpd many with different doctor so don't listen to anyone or give up na you know where your shoe dey pain you
Honestly I noticed this pcos is a process this bleeding part I experienced it back when I was in uni I bled for 4 months straight with heavy blood cloths I changed my pad every 2 hours but as I was growing older I started to experience the chin hair it became so bad in uni the chin hair wasn’t that bad now I’m married from one doctor to another 😭
My battle since 2006 till date. Had missed period 5months at a stretch, 2018 through 2020 the missed periods improved to 2months intervals then from 2020 till date it's been monthly. I don't what has helped. My metabolism is poor, can go 3days without pooing. Oat meal has helped in this aspect. Is it the excess hair? Somedays i get so overwhelmed with all the health challenges, from high blood pressure, to kidney stone, to polycystic ovarian syndrome, ovarian cyst...hmmmmm... In all of these i am still grateful to God and i know he will take all these away at his own time.
I am still living with mine and hopefully get pregnant easily when i get married. I get really tired of taking the meds but what can one do living with this condition. Two of my younger cousins got this also. Praying to be fine no matter the condition. Thanks Doc and Benedicta for sharing this to lighten my mood.
First i want to say you're a beautiful and strong lady I'm glad that you shared your story, and to the Dr I'm really happy that you aren't cutting her short but somehow standing in as a therapist A very big thanks for using your channel to inform people And too all the ladies out there you got this ❤
I remembered in uni when my period stopped coming, I had to go to d school health center. I told him what was going on and he asked I do scan which I did but not showing anything and this doctor will be forcing his finger in my virgina because I told him I was a virgin, he referred me to his hospital which went and d next thing he told was to lied down, I was expecting him recommending drugs or something, that was how he dried to force his finger again and some nurses were der, I screamed and he was like this small finger supposed to enter dat do I want to fart, I stood up and left crying home and as I was going I was praying in my heart that God should let me see my period, I think I saw d period d third day
It's not surprising that people don't know much about it. It is the person that is wearing the shoe that knows where it hurt. People go through stuff that lots of people don't understand even though they think they know. Glad, your partner understands your condition.
I can relate. I had the scariest of 4 months straight no period. I have now had 6 months back to back good flow (no miss for the first time ever). But my consistency is a non consistent period, which we back to atm. 4 years ago when I missed it for 4 months straight, I had blood test and ultra sound and nothing found. So basically not diagnosed or anything. Good to listen. Nutrition and exercise is definitely important. Also finding ways to destress. I need to take my health more serious
Love and light to all girls and women going through this condition. Thank you Dr for this episode, more grace for more enlightening and educative episodes
I had PCOS after my second baby, for four years my period seized, no ovulation, no period, no pregnancy. It was hell, my husband is an only son so more children were expected especially male ones.l cried and begged God when doctors told me nothing else can be done. And God showed up, now l have extra four. God is so good.
@@noratity8180 , Combination 3. That was what doctor gave me in February, then in March my menses returned, went away again in April and May. Then by the mercy of God came in June 6 and flowed non stop till July 18 and after that l conceived. Glory to Jesus Christ
Before I got diagnosed with Chocolate Cyst, I was actually thinking I had PCOS, coming down to Nigeria I realized that lots of people here tends to mistake Chocolate Cyst as Ovarian cyst, I wish we can also educate the public, most especially Nigerian Hospitals and those in health centers what Chocolate cyst is, cos really I think chocolate cyst symptoms are always not easy to talk about… I wish I have the opportunity to come on your platform and share my story too.. I hope we all facing any health challenges overcome this huddles 🙏🙏
I used to have it but God healed me. My periods used to stay up to 6 months apart but right now it's so regular and very healthy. I have children and my weight very ok. God is still in the business of healing people. I got tired of taking medications and cried to God after years of infertility
Congratulations
Hallelujah
Congrats
Glory be to God
Thank you jesus
I suffered with PCOS for 5yrs after my first child I did not even know, I was just not getting pregnant no mata how much sex I had or position I do. Visited a gnea in 2002 Dec, and I was told I had PCOS and multiple fibroids with a weight of 93kg was placed on metformin and was told to loss just 10kg cause I was trying to conceive, I took my weight journey serious in January2022 and in 4months I weighed 72kg and that same year I got pregnant and in 2023 my 2baby boys (twins) came forth. The pregnancy came with lot of fears and worries but God saw us through it. No fibroid operation, I carried my boys till 37wks and 1days. God is still in the business of doing miracles.
Did u continue metformin until u get pregnant
This testimony will soon be mine
Please tell us, did you use metformine until you GOT pregnant ?
Glory to God!
Thank you Jesus
I was diagnosed with PCOS 5yrs ago at the age of 28yrs old. I made intensive research about it, and I started taking measures like taking metformin, combination3, and bromogen tablet for high prolactin. Stop soda and unhealthy meals.
Always checking my fasting sugar and blood pressure. Also, my Urine LH level during ovulation. And managing my health as a medical laboratory scientist.
Got married 3rd of January 2023, and by 28th of January 2023 I got a positive pregnancy test. Half-way through my pregnancy journey now. I will share my PCOS journey in details in my RUclips channel soonest.
All glory to God 🙏
Congratulations ma
Oh congratulations ma'am
I need your help.

I'm here and willing to help
Wow, it's so nice that someone could come out and share their story.
Sometimes, I feel like I was born with PCOS, cause I've been so hairy since birth and family will tell me it's because I'm just hairy.
Then I've always had irregular period from the onset, I started my period pretty late when I was in SS2 and it does get worse as you grow older.
I've always heard people gaining weight dueto it but mine was the complete opposite. I lose weight. I hardly sleep and yh, still a student but awfully stressed out. Tried lots of stuff to gain weight but it doesn't work. And sometimes, I get comfortable with not having my periods regularly cause having it is just not comfortable because I get heavy ones. But.... Sometimes, you get worried
I did test and scan, was told I don't have PCOS and it's just hormonal imbalance but I was having all the symptoms and all but no cyst and the fact that I was the only one in my family with that issue
My skin also was not making it easy, from facial hair to melasma, to skin tones. My skin got darker and it became lighter and had people tell me face to face I was using bleaching cream when I was not. Also, the look and stigmatization especially from males when they find out you have facial hair.But I've learned to love myself as I am and decided to just stay healthy and enjoy the life God has given me.
When it's time to have kids, God will take perfect control.
Sorry for the long story, I just needed a place to dump my story and glad I could.
Everybody's story is different, but to all women out there, just stay healthy and love yourself with a Kung-Fu grip. Lead a Godly life and be at peace, everything will be fine
I think you should discuss with a doctor to check your thyroid as well.
No need to be sorry, read this and I’ll surely pray for God to comfort you❤️
Thanks for sharing
❤❤
This is not fair o, this whole thing has messed with me so much that I just want a solution so much
I can't count how many nights I wake up and cry.
Now I am better, I learnt to put myself first.
Love and kisses to every girl every woman leaving with PCOS.
God😓 I am currently here🥺🥺🥺
😢
I pray to have an understanding partner.
It is very relieving to get a partner who understands and believes God will heal you. I have battled PCOS for about 20+ years and am 35 now. I got my miracle baby after 5 years of marriage. It's been a journey of faith and total surrender to God.
Dr. You are doing a great job, God bless you.
Thank God for you, I pray God answer me too and see me through
Thank you for sharing this, I was diagnosed in 2020, missed my period for about 5-6 months February till july.
All thanks to God I was still studying in India so with proper medication, proper diet and God, I have seen my period regularly since July 2020 till now.
A partner that believes God will heal you. This!!!
I was diagnosed before i got married, i wasn't ovulating, i missed periods, i was adding unnecessary weight. I went to the hospital, i was diagnosed with PCOS, hormonal imbalance. The treatments were so expensive. Thank God for his healing, i have 3kids now and my periods are regular, still dealing with weight issues and painful periods.
We thank God.
What treatment where you given?
I had PCOS and hyperprolactin at the same time...I almost run mad the mental aspect of treating them.... bromocripton side effects
Money, test
Overall the I almost lost my mind
Can someone with a prolactin level of 35 get pregnant?
I was diagnosed with PCOS 10yrs ago at the age of 22.
I had a scan and yes I had polycystic ovaries. I have high androgen levels.
What’s worse for me is no matter how many medications I’m given, I barely menstruate. Sometimes 8months straight, no monthly flow of blood. However, every month, i go through the signs of ovulation. I was given iron meds to increase my blood levels but it’s not working.
I have serious acne.
Between 2012 and now, i have gained like 40kg in total. I was exercising, eating healthy yet I just wasn’t shedding the weight. I can go more than 30hrs without sleep. If I force myself to sleep, I get migraines
Living with PCOS has not been easy for me but I’m trying and managing.
I recently relocated from Ghana. I have an appointment next month with a specialist.
I am still hopeful
To every woman out there living with PCOS, YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!!
You're strong and courageous. I wish you God's kind of healing.
May God see us through...and grant us healings
May God help you through this. Can you share the name of the specialist and the hospital? I will need to see a specialist too. Thank you.
We are in this together ❤️
Life goes on
Hello. Did you say you are in Ghana, im in Ghana too
Some times I just wonder y I have to go through dis…. I feel really sad… I have been on medications, fasting and praying, and working on my diet … may God almighty answer every woman that wants to carry their own babies… i very sure I will sing my new song soon 🙏🙏 with God everything is possible
AMEN 🫂🫂
I can relate with this, first it was ovarian cyst, then turn to PCOS, I batled with so many years, then i went for another test and scan then i have PCOS and BIG FIBROID,i was hearbroken, depressed😢, but my husband is so supportive be with me through all the journey, its not easy, there are time i will menstruate for a whole month, and some years i won't menstruate for more than 6 months. Thick voice, facial hair,abdominal and chest hair, depresssion, sleepless night but after alot of prayer and treatment i have a BABY BOY now,to anyone passing through this you're not alone......God will come through for us❤
I'm battling this right now. Periods are non-stop. I need healing.
You saw your period for a month?
Yes...even more than a month sometimes😔....but after I have my baby, I don't have that awful experience anymore
I'm just trying to understand what's happening to me right now.
@@rajialimot3018 thank you for sharing your experience. I'm glad to hear you are much better now. I wish you permanent healing.🙏
I found out i had PCOS at 15, and I've been living with it for 5 years now. One thing I've come to discover is as i grow older, my symptoms just worsen. The year i found out i had PCOS, i didn't see my period for 8 months straight, and now i haven't seen my period in 1 year, 4 months. Facial hair itself is a struggle. Emotional imbalance is another thing on its own. I can't count days that ive broken down because of my emotional struggle. Of recent, I decided to embark on a rigorous weight loss journey and it just worsened my abdominal pain. Women living with PCOS are going through a lot and its so saddening to see that society does not care at all.
@@mercyadoda4683Thank you
@@ifeoluwaoyewole2791 use supplements please this really helped me a lot like myo d chiro inositol,Gaia vitex berry,zinc,magnesium ❤❤❤❤❤
Same with me,over a year no period.
You're even my age mate
Was medically diagnosed at age 18
I'm so sorry
Oh sweetheart pls take this as a token of care❤🎉. The struggle is real but I assure you that you'll overcome.
I suffered from PCOS since I was a teenager, my period will cease for months, after marriage, I started taking medications, I began to eat less and healthy to shed weight, after losing 15kg, I was prescribed letrozole and I got pregnant on the first trial, in the middle of this, I prayed effortlessly. I am officially going for an ultra sound tomorrow. pCOS is not the end of someone's life.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I was recently diagnosed with PCOS after years of not feeling like myself, and knowing something is wrong.
The depression is real, the fatigue is extreme, and the solutions are very confusing and hard to determine and navigate. Thank you for reaffirming the importance of putting yourself first in getting healthy and educated. With much love from Miami!
I'm 19 and i have irregular periods
My mom took me to the hospital and the doctor told me that I have Anemia and my hormones are imbalance
Ive been on drugs for three months. But I'm off the drugs now and i didn't see my period this month
I'll be going to the hospital tomorrow again 😢 hopefully it's not PCOS but if it is then i believe that my God is bigger than PCOS
Just get pregnant my dear. I wish I had known I would have gotten pregnant at an early age because it's going to worsen at some point and you will regret
Me watching this and being intensely fatigued from my PCOS 😄 I have accepted my fate and do my best with my overall health. I really don't care what people think of me. Na me know wetin dey do me.
Managing Pcos is very expensive…so many of us can’t afford the lifestyle changes advised talk more of the medications..it’s tiring…….I’m at a point where I’m just living and hoping that one day everything will be fine cos I don tire
I feel like I am the one talking.She is a strong lady.
I went through almost all the experiences she has explained.
My periods have been abit stable after childbirth but I still struggle alot with weight.
Courage to all experiencing PCOS.We are special so let no man make you feel bad about yourself.
Thank you for sharing
Real matters! I hope everyone suffering from PCOS heals
My current situation
Amen!!! I receive it by faith
Amen in Jesus name
Thank you
Amen
Doc you're such a good listener😊
💯 true
Pcos isn't a joke oh its the mood swings, pains, weight gain nd many more. 1 year no period worst part is I enjoyed it. It can't be cured but you can fight it, not easy to fight but you can. Getting pregnant is hard with pcos but if I can do it you can do it guys.
PCOS is a devil 😈,l swear
Am still struggling with mine.
My weight gain is crazy from 70kg to 110kg
My 9yrs relationship ended because of PCOS weight gain.
My mental health Is affected,
My skin is extremely bad
Menstrual dissoder
Only upper body weight gain ooooo my butt n thighs are tiny n my breast n tummy is biggggg ,hmmmmmmm
I will keep typing if l don't control.
Am from Ghana, love ur videos Sir
Thank you
You'll be fine. Let Jesus give you rest.
Jesus will do it,but she needs to help herself too, stop eating food high in calories , the long and short of it is eat as if you are diabetic.
@@Ojimsj_C True that we have our role to play.
Regardless, I always need Jesus' strength/help to play my part.
Again, Jesus can give her rest and restore all that she has lost. #soundmentalhealthANDmore
PCOS is diabetes of the ovaries, caused by too much insulin in the body as a result of a high carb diet.
A low carb diet (or keto if you’re able to) and intermittent fasting is the solution.
I'm in the office now and I have tears in my eyes because, I also have this challenge. Between 2016 and 2018, I was really depressed. I dreaded staying in school hostels, I was really isolated because I didn't know how to explain to some of my friends why I don't menstruate so most times, I will just buy pads so that when any of them is running out of theirs and they ask from me I can give them so that it looks like I also have my monthly cycle. I've tried drugs of course, prescribed ones but, it seem as though until I use these drugs the flow doesn't come, I just had to stop using them. The last test I did said my progesterone level is low, I was placed on Provera drugs. I just stopped because I couldn't imagine that I'm taking drugs to have menstruation. I'm adding up but people think it's enjoyment that is causing it (lol). I've stopped any medication now and I'm trusting God for my healing. I'm married now and somehow I'm anxious about fertility but, my trust is in God now and not drugs.
Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable. My prayers to you and your home.
I had same, took Arabian figs. It didn't restore the period but I got pregnant
@@maureenosazuwa8339this is awesome.
Pregnancy without period. Jesus!
@@maureenosazuwa8339please how does one get these Arabian figs?
Sending love❤ and hug🤗 darling. Your faith will surely work for you. Keep trusting God
I'm glad there's a lot of exposure coming to PCOS. A lot of people are insensitive to people with PCOS and sadly, I have dealt with the worst of them, while struggling with really bad symptoms.
I'm in a better place now, doing what I can...exercising, trying to eat clean, reducing stress, going for laser hair removal when I can, educating those who are willing to listen and avoiding toxic and insensitive relationships.
Sending love and light to every lady who is dealing with PCOS. Stay courageous ❤
Thanks Benny and Dr Nonso for sharing this story.
Pls where did you do your laser treatment?

By the way kudos to your cinematographer/videographer/cameraperson, and editor ❤ The color and lightning in these videos are cool. Simple and beautiful.
Managing PCOS tends to be expensive. I wish something could be done about the costs.
My major issue with PCOS aside the rude comments about being fat, has to be the skin problems. Spent a lot seeing dermatologists and yet, nothing. It can be frustrating.
Here is another link - ruclips.net/video/JThjAb_i-Nc/видео.html
I just love her sense of humor
Thank you so much Rabe ❤
I was diagnosed with PCOS a few years ago and its not been easy. Irregular menses,Facial hair and weight issues. I have spent lots of money on Supplements but when I was ready to have a child, it was really difficult. Thankfully I have been able to have a child through IVF. We need a lot more Education on PCOS
I pray for strength for all the ladies out there going through this
Thank you so much for this awareness doctor.
Now am enlightened 😊
Dr thanks for this topic, this is my life oooo,going to 7 years of marriage no child.....have been diagnosed with this so called pcos....I know that God will see me through and bless me with my own children through the medications am on now .
Lots of hugs and love dear Benny. I pray for healing upon everyone living with PCOS. I pray that Jesus will keep taking care of us and our health be restored.
Amen
I watched this with tears in my eyes I don't know why. I have suffered with PCOS and I feel alone, misunderstood, judged, lost and even depressed sometimes. Love and light to people like me out there.
I can't relate, but I want you to know you are strong, lovable and beautiful. Am sending you a big hug dear ❤❤🥰💝
We will be fine.. lots of hugs 🫂
Chaiiiii darling it's well with your soul, try and develop self love for your self that's the first thing.
❤
Boost up on your self love darling. Never get into depression dear, God loves you...
I was diagnosed with Amenorrhea, and it was as if my life was coming to an end, I was depressed but I took the drugs given to me by the doctor, I saw my period months later, I am an 18year old, I pray, I see it next month, because the experience can be so heart breaking 😢
Yes kindness goes along way. Society can be cruel, especially when it comes to unknown or unusual conditions
Wow.. this is my first real expose to PCOS. To think that one I’m every six women have PCOS and yet people are so ignorant about it is incredible. Well done doctor
SHE HAS LITERALLY BEEN LIVING MY LIFE. THANK YOU FOR SHARING BENEDICTA. I RELATE WITH YOUR STORY FROM EVERY POINT.
You are welcome Desire.. we will be alright.. I promise ❤❤
PCOS is deeper than the surface. There is a solution but you have to be 100% willing. Im writing my testimony story soon + all of my years of research . Too many women are suffering
Hi, please IS the testimony already available?
Double love for this episode. I think our educational system should include the knowledge of PCOS in the Secondary school curriculum as it is a very common condition and those who have it will be better equipped to manage it and those who don't will know how to better respond to those who do. Because you either have it or someone close to you does and it's a real thing.
My life story, I was diagnosed of PCOS when I was 27, before then I've been missing my period back to back then in secondary school. Funny enough I was happy but I never knew that not seeing my period was as a result of PCOS, my period has always been painful and lengthy even till date , I started noticing facial hairs,my lower belly got puffy, I became very conscious of it just when I herd about it over the radio. It's been a Rocky journey all along however I changed my diet, reluctantly started exercising then sleep more but the mood swings haaa no be here o.
But God will help us, I want to have children and live free of it and I will continue to seek better ways to get it off.
I salute the courage of people who share their stories. It not only helps others but themselves, too, to heal.
Pretty woman.
Thank you Akin. You are very kind ..
I don't know what to say and how to explain mine .....but am still battling with mine and praying while talking my drugs....shout out to every woman who are battling this so called syndrome may God heal us...... Amen
With me was constant headaches, facial hairs, high blood pressure, irregular periods/ lost of period,,,, i started a healthy lifestyle lost a lot of weight n still very active at the gym, mind my carb intake n food in general,,, have been doing well, got my period back, no headaches, loosing weight,, just a new lifestyle in general to help me be healthy…
Can you please tell.me.about the new life style,i also have PCOS but don't know what to do in maintaining a good lifestyle
Pls one of the contributing factor is woman behaving like male, wearing male clothes,some lady they don't have gown but trousers and male wear, before you know you brian will start releasing male hormone ,bco they are confuse about your personality
This is the parto physiology of what is happening in your reproductive system
Thank you Benny and Doctor we need more of this video to educate us
Maraji shared her story on her channel. She was luck to have gotten pregnant in a heartbeat. Her son just clocked 1.
Yes she’s blessed ❤️
She managed it that’s why is so easy for her to take in quickly like supplements and minding what she eats
And she is pregnant again for her second baby
Me and her are super alike. We literally went through the exact same things. The coincidence is amazing.
Sending love and positivity to all the women battling PCOS. You are not alone. I was once diagnosed with PCOS in 2019 when I had abdominal pain but I don't have any of its symptoms. I see my periods regularly, I don't have facials hairs, I don't gain mysterious weight. The only thing I battle with is acne and now watching PCOS related videos and reading through this comment section, I keep asking myself, Do I really have PCOS???
Same thing I do ask myself now because I never missed my period
You will start missing it please that is how I was too
Have read through the comments and I see the testimonies. I pray to come and testify about being free from pcos someday
Thanks for sharing your story. I think there's no direct management for PCOS, different physicians with different management plans. PCOS affects the physical and the mental aspect of a woman's life .
Presently battling with PCOS and infertility . Always watching videos, browsing and trying different things. Currently on inositol and vitex.
Hoping and praying for the best.
I can really relate with this video. It is not easy living with infertility brought on by things you overlooked and didn't know could even affect you. I was diagnosed with Asherman's syndrome and also later with PCOS. Going in and out of the hospital without getting desired results is really depressing. Feeling all these symptoms and pains that comes with it both mentally and physically. The weight sometimes affects one's esteem and one just builds a wall and tries to have thick skin. Having a good partner and support system has also helped me cope. Thanks for speaking up sis. Thanks doctor for this video.
The Joy that comes with not being alone. Thank y'all.
Watching this almost in tears as i can relate to each struggle. PCOS really worsens as you grow older.
This video was made for me 😭😭Thank you Benny... Thank you Doc ❤️❤️
Thanks Benny for coming out boldly to share your PCOS experience. I can relate with this conversation so well, My Ph.D thesis was on PCOS.
After struggling for 3 yrs of irregular periods I have vissited gynecology and 18 Dec 2023 I was introduced to this condition PCOS I never had an idea of what it was I worried cried feel lost & never shared the news with any one any woman undergoing this someone somewhere is feeling the same
You are not alone dear.. 🫂🫂🫂
You will be fine . Just don’t give up
No one is talking about low sexual libido/ vaginal dryness/ painful sex?
That is one thing that causes misunderstanding with my husband
As much as I try to explain and he tries to understand
He still can’t wrap his head around the height of it
Sometimes I just feel I should have healed before dragging that poor man into my problems you know
Too many symptoms going on at the same time
Are these also part of the symptoms of PCOS?
@@chimdinmachionye4964 Yes they are
I'm with in this
Thank you for adding this.....the struggle is real.
I'm so sorry that you're experiencing this. I go dry too. The sex gets so painful. 🥺 It's so frustrating 'cause my libido is f-ng high yet, I can't even enjoy sex. I don't even look forward to it. This shit has ruined many relationships of mine. Has been the case for me until I met a patient man. I explained everything to him and he understood and took care of me. It's been good since then. I hope it gets better for you because I believe sex is something everyone should enjoy.
Finally someone talked about my struggles
I'm glad I found this video.
It's all I need to know about PCOS.
And it's so sad that there isn't enough knowledge about this despite how common it is.
I hope you find healing someday 🥺.
And I hope all the women dealing with this get all the support they need and crave.
Ohhh my diagnosis was during covid times and ohh my God ! It was quite an experience. I thank God for the gift of knowledge coz most things I knew about PCOS is from the internet from people’s experiences
Thank you for sharing your experience Benny, I pray you find healing❤❤❤
Doc thanks for reminding us to drink water while talking 😊
You are so beautiful, Benedicta!😍
Dr, I love the way you listen attentively🤗
Thank you ❤❤
Thank you so much. I'm currently going through this. Best thing was when I finally got to know what exactly was wrong with me. It's really not easy living with PCOS
just have to share, I am hoping this inspires others struggling. I have PCOS and I remember how I felt when the doctor told me it would be difficult for me to concieve naturally,I now have 4 children, very successful pregnancies, God blessed me with the use of herbs.
What Herb please
This was a beautiful watch… still watching but doc pls can you shed more light or create more contents about fibroid too?? Thanks
This video is for me...
An innocent woman like me has suffered alot from PCOs and no one seems to understand, Acne and irregular period has really dealt with me...
Thank God I am not alone 🤸.
Wow! This is very educative and inspiring. You are taking our education to a different level. May God bless you and your team. Thank you
It's not easy to even talk about it I'll say I've had PCOS since I was born, everybody's symptoms are different. I fir one have polycystic ovaries, I'm hypertensive, constant body pain , headaches, male pattern hair, the more I try to lose weight the more I get bigger, it's as if I have all the symptoms, I've had missed periods of 8 months , abdominal pains the list goes on. I'm now trying to treat it and the doctors prescribed hormonal birth control pills only for it to make my blood pressure high . I'm already tired of going to the hospital it's not even getting better I've spent alot throughout this treatment journey. Thank you for sharing your experience ❤️ I hope and pray we all get better 🙏.
And thank you aproko doctor it was because of the whispa app, I started treatment
I can relate.. had similar experience, the painful part is people don't understand what women with PCOS go through. I found out about PCOS when trying to conceive. It's really really draining.
But I thank God I'm expecting now but currently battling with gestational diabetes.
Love and light sis ❤❤
It is well my sister. God is with you and you will deliver like a Hebrew woman in Jesus's mighty name. Amen
Consistent pelvic pain prompted me to do a pelvic scan and on two occasions it detected PCOS. I was calm though because I have a little knowledge about it and because there's treatment but when I saw the cost of the test I was like ah they should make it affordable so that women with conditions like this will get treatment. The weight gain and the thoughts of not being able to conceive is really depressing 🥺🥺
Same here,
I’ve been wondering if this consistent pelvic pain is a thing for everyone with PCOS.
And if it’ll ever stop finally.
I don’t know if it’s a thing but it happens with me as well. It’s comes and goes for me
@@benedictaomoruyi4364 😩
Please reduce your sugar in take…it’s one of the things that helped me heal from PCOS…it’s not easy but you can do it
I once had that pelvic pain every month but they told me it was ovulation
I watched this crying, like a baby.
I'm a teenager who can relate to this 😄.
Thank you Aprokodoctor I've never regretted following you.
I hope to share my story to the ones coming after me.
And I pray I heal❤️.
Loves and hugs to you and Chef Amaka🤗
Love❤ and hug🤗 to u darling.
Benedicta is really a strong woman🎉. It was obvious in her composition and all. Even when she was discussing emotional moments of her life, she didn’t even feel teary.
Thank you so much for the exposure and I could relate to the symptoms because I have couple of friends with this medical condition. Like you said, we will all be fine
What I really learnt from the video is to never be insensitive to other people’s feelings or conditions.
I swear 😃 people are passing through alot
Is not easy living with PCOS
The anxiety and depression
More strength to every lady with PCOS.......
Thank you Benny for sharing, God gat you 💯 your healing is now in Jesus Name Amen 🙏
She's a brave one
Benny thank you so much, I cried like a baby , I will take all ur good advice , thank you for encouraging me today 👍
I want to hug you ❤
Hope you are good?
I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2020 and I've been battling it for three years now. From expensive tests, to abdominal pains to fluctuating weight gain and loss. As I grow older, the symptoms keep worsening.
Right now, the weight is back again and it came with acne.😀💔
Everyone keeps asking me why I'm getting bigger 😂
I've heard older women talk about PCOS and what it does to them and all the infertility and psychological effects and all ...
But above all; Women with PCOS, we rock ❤️🙂
I had PCOS after my second baby,my period stopped for 4 good years, no ovulation,no period and no pregnancy. My husband is an only son so more children were expected especially when doctors told me nothing else can be done. I cried like my life depended on it and God showed up. Now l have more four kids and very healthy. Hold on to God for perfect healing.
Thank you so much for sharing this!!! Suffer same thing, and mine is even worse at the moment cause I haven't seen my period in about 7months now, but I'm not gaining weight, and I am even so scared to go spend money on scan and tests again. Plus my facial hairs isn't helping at the moment, but I'm working on that by God's grace. Thank youuuu💚
This will pass sis
Keep standing strong🤗
Thank you so much❤️
This is what am going through right nw😢
I have been there. And I truly truly understand.
Here is sending lots of love ❤ and hugs 🫂
I was diagnosed with PCOS one year ago and it's killing me, my hormones are bad. I have changed everything. Nothing works. In fact I am currently going through depression and I hope God comes through
Watching this clip has made me reflect on my story. I suffered PCOS for 5yrs, carried out couple of scan and blood test, was placed on combination 3 tablet which kept increasing my weight, In a whole year I menstruate once but after 6months OXG recommended primolut n tablet to induce flow. But God healed me at Shiloh 2020 at winners church. It's been steady since then on a monthly basis, no medication no treatment from that day till now....God can do all things
Hallelujah🙌
I believe in miracles
Thank God!!!
How many months did you take primolut-N? Because I took it after almost one year of period absence for one month it came and I was told it was going to be regular for almost six months that I should try to get pregnant on that month I was given clomid too but unfortunately I failed get a man to have sex with to get pregnant
This was really educative. I’ve being hearing about PCOS but I never knew what it was about, just knew it had to do with hormonal imbalance but didn’t know it had severe symptoms like this.
This was enlightening,just found out I have it and it has being so overwhelming
I like a host that allows guests to talk. Thank you Dr.😊
Mine is worse. I remember one time I was in a meeting and I stood up and blood was all over the chair. Sometimes I could go 4 months without menses. I did lots of tests and the diagnosed pcos. It's been a struggle. Some times if don't see it for months I start feeling bloated. The hairs on my shin and all. Now I fear I might be infertile. See I don't like menses and it's problems but I'd rather be seeing it every month than what I am passing through
Same fears I get.
My dear the lord is your strength I hv nd know many with it and hv given birth just get the right doctor oh not all dz quack nd unnecessary expensive doctor no join. Am a living witness and I hv hlpd many with different doctor so don't listen to anyone or give up na you know where your shoe dey pain you
I’m sorry dear, I’m really sorry you’re going through this❤️
So sorry about this. God got you. Keep knowing God and being self aware and do the things you need to do.
Honestly I noticed this pcos is a process this bleeding part I experienced it back when I was in uni I bled for 4 months straight with heavy blood cloths I changed my pad every 2 hours but as I was growing older I started to experience the chin hair it became so bad in uni the chin hair wasn’t that bad now I’m married from one doctor to another 😭
This video is very informative and eye opening
Great interview 😊
Very interesting conversation. The audio is quite low.
Literally I cried hearing her story, like ehnnn health condition in this life is too much.
My battle since 2006 till date. Had missed period 5months at a stretch, 2018 through 2020 the missed periods improved to 2months intervals then from 2020 till date it's been monthly. I don't what has helped. My metabolism is poor, can go 3days without pooing. Oat meal has helped in this aspect. Is it the excess hair? Somedays i get so overwhelmed with all the health challenges, from high blood pressure, to kidney stone, to polycystic ovarian syndrome, ovarian cyst...hmmmmm... In all of these i am still grateful to God and i know he will take all these away at his own time.
You're a warrior. Never forget that.
I am still living with mine and hopefully get pregnant easily when i get married. I get really tired of taking the meds but what can one do living with this condition. Two of my younger cousins got this also. Praying to be fine no matter the condition. Thanks Doc and Benedicta for sharing this to lighten my mood.
Glad it helped to lighten you.. you will be fine... ❤❤
@@benedictaomoruyi4364 ❤❤
First i want to say you're a beautiful and strong lady
I'm glad that you shared your story, and to the Dr I'm really happy that you aren't cutting her short but somehow standing in as a therapist
A very big thanks for using your channel to inform people
And too all the ladies out there you got this ❤
Here for my girl. We got you.
@Aproko Doctor is such an amazing listener. My heart goes out to everyone dealing with this condition.
I remembered in uni when my period stopped coming, I had to go to d school health center. I told him what was going on and he asked I do scan which I did but not showing anything and this doctor will be forcing his finger in my virgina because I told him I was a virgin, he referred me to his hospital which went and d next thing he told was to lied down, I was expecting him recommending drugs or something, that was how he dried to force his finger again and some nurses were der, I screamed and he was like this small finger supposed to enter dat do I want to fart, I stood up and left crying home and as I was going I was praying in my heart that God should let me see my period, I think I saw d period d third day
I later discovered it was PCOS
@@AdelekeFunke-zo5ib my God so sorry Funke, that's a very bad doctor
It's not surprising that people don't know much about it. It is the person that is wearing the shoe that knows where it hurt. People go through stuff that lots of people don't understand even though they think they know. Glad, your partner understands your condition.
Thank you so much. I felt some kind of closure watching this .
I can relate.
I had the scariest of 4 months straight no period. I have now had 6 months back to back good flow (no miss for the first time ever). But my consistency is a non consistent period, which we back to atm.
4 years ago when I missed it for 4 months straight, I had blood test and ultra sound and nothing found. So basically not diagnosed or anything.
Good to listen.
Nutrition and exercise is definitely important. Also finding ways to destress. I need to take my health more serious
God bless you both. It's good to hear someone explain all that I've been through
A lot of stress currently I’m experiencing and I pray God help me and everyone struggling mentally too. You are loved ❤
Love and light to all girls and women going through this condition. Thank you Dr for this episode, more grace for more enlightening and educative episodes
I had PCOS after my second baby, for four years my period seized, no ovulation, no period, no pregnancy. It was hell, my husband is an only son so more children were expected especially male ones.l cried and begged God when doctors told me nothing else can be done. And God showed up, now l have extra four. God is so good.
😢😢😢😢😢oh this is such a good news. Congratulations Swts
What drugs were u taking
@@noratity8180 , Combination 3. That was what doctor gave me in February, then in March my menses returned, went away again in April and May. Then by the mercy of God came in June 6 and flowed non stop till July 18 and after that l conceived. Glory to Jesus Christ
I wish I could like this video more than once.
Thank you Benny and Dr.Chinonso.
Before I got diagnosed with Chocolate Cyst, I was actually thinking I had PCOS, coming down to Nigeria I realized that lots of people here tends to mistake Chocolate Cyst as Ovarian cyst, I wish we can also educate the public, most especially Nigerian Hospitals and those in health centers what Chocolate cyst is, cos really I think chocolate cyst symptoms are always not easy to talk about…
I wish I have the opportunity to come on your platform and share my story too..
I hope we all facing any health challenges overcome this huddles 🙏🙏
Chocolate cyst caused by endometriosis 😢
