Actress Etinosa Idemudia has opened up about her battle with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), a hormonal disorder common among women of reproductive age.
Sharing her story on Instagram, the actress revealed that she was trolled online for having body fat one of the symptoms of PCOS.
She wrote:
“A lady came to troll me talking about visceral fat. I didn’t get angry, I googled it and found out it is from a female targeted medical condition called PCOS.
“I discussed with my Gynae on how to manage this because PCOS has no cure you only manage its symptoms.
“I’m writing this to every woman out there-with PCOS to tell you that you are not alone. Even if it’s your husband that is mocking you or strangers online. You will overcome.
“I carried my baby and you will carry your baby. That facial hair or stubborn fat does not make you any less. You are beautiful and you are enough.”
Etinosa, who has been open about her health journey, revealed that she recently underwent surgery to reduce body fat as part of managing her condition.
The actress has lived with PCOS for years and has faced many challenges along the way. She previously disclosed that she struggled with the condition for seven years before eventually conceiving and giving birth.
Now a mother of one, Etinosa continues to use her platform to raise awareness and encourage women battling PCOS, reminding them that they are not alone in their struggles.
