What to Know About Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

Many of us (myself included) have been raised to accept that our periods will hurt. Ironically, this idea causes more harm! This misconception led to me missing school because of menstrual pain, all while assuming there was nothing I could do to feel better. I thought my period pain was normal, felt hopeless, and didn’t seek out help. I wish I had known then what I know now. Now that I know getting menstrual migraines and excessive cramps isn’t normal, I’ve talked to my doctor, received advice and appropriate prescriptions, and feel better every month.
