The things I’m seeing in these quotes are so annoying especially from women. “It’s the food, shawarma, skincare”. These are the things we fought banger boys about the whole of last year on spreading misinformation and harmful rhetorics about women’s health.
Shawarma is not the cause of PCOS. Skincare is not the cause of PCOS. The older generation of women had it but were undiagnosed. Some of us have had it before we even knew what shawarma was. It is very insensitive and distasteful
I just opened TikTok and saw a 20yr old girl say, ‘Only me PCOS, fatty liver, kidney problems.’
I checked the comments and it was full of girls aged 17–20 saying the same thing.
Then I saw another: ‘Only me PCOS, ovarian cysts, enlarged ovaries, fatty liver, 2 years without menstruation… and I just turned 20.’
My goodness
