Pretty Ugly // Living With Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

[@Lisa-iq1yd]

pcos in itself is not life threatening, but it is linked to higher rates of chronic diseases that may be fatal, such as higher rates of diabetes and heart disease. That is why it is so important to get diagnosed and start treating it. Also, you can have pcos without having any cysts on your ovaries. Thanks for addressing pcos, it is important to raise awareness. pcos diva has a lot of good resources for pcos

[@ericamariesargent]

Pcos is most definitely debilitating and it can affect every aspect of your life and it can be life threatening due to internal bleeding and complications that arise from cysts in some people

I was recently diagnosed and I loved seeing you so relaxed and talking about it! Great video, I shared with my sisters so they can get a better understanding of what was going on because I couldn’t manage to put it into words exactly!! Thanks you ❤️

Hiya Gabrielle, I’ve got pics and I’m 14. It makes me feel extremely ill and not very confident.

[@semragn4691]

Wow, this facts are amazing. I have learnt some today even. The causes that were given out were so detailed. Personally I have been through PCOS. Then went for medication in Bio tex clinic. I am grateful that I got to learn some treatment that I could carry out from my house. And I thought it best to share. When the body is insulin resistant, it simply does not remember how to use carbohydrates for energy. It can only store them as fat. The Natural PCOS Diet describes in outstanding detail the most appropriate diet for PCOS. Here are a few basic tips. Balance low GI carbohydrates with adequate protein. Include phytoestrogens in your diet. Buy organic foods whenever possible. Reduce your intake of saturated fats. Limit or avoid dairy. Drink two liters of filtered water daily. Avoid additives, preservatives and food chemicals such as artificial sweeteners. Avoid caffeine and alcohol. Avoid sugar on its own and hidden in foods. Include essential fatty acids in your diet.

Hey Gabriella. It is nice that you have decided to come out with how you have been living with PCOS. I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was married. But the doctor believes that I have been living with the problem since I was young. Living with PCOS is something very complicated. But when I started my medication in Bio tex clinic I can say that I have seen a lot of improvement. Although it still risks me to other problems like. Infertility. Endometrial cancer. Diabetes. Lipid abnormalities. Obesity. Heart disease (4 to 7 times higher). Sleep apnea. May develop anxiety and/or depression. Although some of the treatments have been helpful so far like. Healthy eating. Weight control/Weight loss. Medication & birth control are a few that are commonly prescribed. Regular exercise. Ovarian wedge resection. Laparoscopic ovarian drilling.

Loved the video, I have PCOS too and I'm dealing with the symptoms daily! I just posted a video about my PCOS, I've heard people refer to us as Cysters, I think that's slightly disgusting and also slightly hilarious!

[@zitamaria95]

I also suffer from the disease wear I get pink pigmentation. Im soooo embarrassed. I'm getting more cracks *& wrinkles in my face because of this conditions. Any advice that can help me pleaseee Thank you for posting this helpful video by the way Hugs to you.

[@ByGabriella]

Hi Cheryl, So sorry that the condition makes you feel so bad. It definitely does have it's bad days but there are so many things you can do to make things better :) If you have Cystic acne, you need to simplify your skincare regime, and choose soothing products that don't aggravate the spots. Also go to your GP, as they may put you on drugs for this or products such as Roaccutane. For the pink pigmentation, which might be rosacea, have a read of my blog as I wrote a post on this. Any other questions you have, let me know :)

[@Bei2310]

By Gabriella awww your so kind. Thank you so very much for your sweet helpful advice. I have to have surgery next week. I have a pro collapse uterus. And its sitting on my bladder the doctor said yesterday. So I'm having a hysterectomy. Its from having children & other past surgery's in my stomach. The Dr. Did however put me on antibiotic for bladder infection just to be safe. because I have my surgery and I can already feel some comfort believe it or not. I'm trying to change my diet and stay away from eating foods that are not healthy for you cos and I love to see you know what you eat so I can get some ideas and I want to see my skin care routine video if that's possible? I love your channel. I had to subscriber. Thank you so very much for your helpful videos.

[@stephywat]

Cheryl Fournier I am 25 and still struggling with this. But try not to let it get to you. Cause then we miss out in life

[@ginag5309]

Hey, I just wanted to let you know I also have the cystic acne aka Milia. I was ready to head to a dermatologist to remove them because if you look online there is a way to remove them. I decided to do it myself after I saw the tools the dermatologists use, we are able to buy the blackhead remover in stores. I chose to buy a kit on amazon since it also comes with a tool to poke it. I also looked into castor oil I don't have an update if it actually works with bumps, acne etc since I'm still waiting for it to be delivered. But good luck with everything I am on the same boat suddenly this past month my face has really gone downhill and I'm minimizing using chemicals and looking into natural alternatives.

[@darthkitten95]

If not how skinny you should be it’s if yo are healthy that matters having a little belly isn’t bad a lot yes but you look great

[@saraluvcats6891]

Hi Gabrielle, My name is Olubusayo Asuni. I am a student journalist from the university of kent. I am currently working on a video documentary on Pcos, I wanted to ask if you would be will share your experience on my documentary. Thanks

[@reaganh9410]

It's very easy to get confused and overwhelmed with all the natural and not so natural approaches for getting rid of ovarian cysts. If you want a change of pace, maybe try Tilly Strankten's website. Try googling it and see if what she explains makes sense to you too.

[@unboxingsparkles5786]

did laser hair removal worked for u !! because it's not working for me and it's been 11 sessions :(

[@ByGabriella]

It's not worked totally for me no, the hair still comes back so I have to get laser every month or so... it's a very slow process annoyingly x

[@unboxingsparkles5786]

[@LaurenSweet]

@@radeksikorski1 it took 23 sessions to really make a difference for me. I now go about 4 times a year. I still shave my face every 2 days but it has made to world of difference to my life. No more 5 o’clock shadow and skin is soft and hair not visible for 2 days. Much less hair too. I started after 20 years of shaving so the hair was well established.

[@theszmek]

[@emilyavery1804]
