My Big Fat Fabulous Life: Whitney Way Thore Nails The Hard Truth About PCOS After Medical Breakthrough

Whitney Way Thore spoke up about patients suffering from PCOS and how medically neglected they are. In her latest Instagram post, the My Big Fat Fabulous Life star gets real about the health issue that has plagued her whole life, after the recent classification of PCOS. The term, now referred to as PMOS, is recognized as more than cysts in the ovaries that reduce the chances of pregnancy. PMOS is a long-term condition that affects hormones, metabolism, and ovaries, causing irregular periods, fertility issues, and weight changes, among other side effects.

Whitney also recalled her own story with PCOS history. At 20 years old, she recalled how, when she was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, she didn’t know much about it. The only thing she knew was that she would need help if she wanted to bear children in the future. No further medical explanation was provided to her. Now, with the medical breakthrough, she is happy PCOS is not just a chronic illness that affects fertility.

Whitney, at 42, really wants to bear children. Last season, she looked for sperm donors. It is evident that PCOS didn’t receive much medical attention throughout these years. It was only treated when it came to pregnancy challenges. Now, with the reclassification, Whitney is happy that women with PCOS will get more medical help outside of getting pregnant.
