Bebe Rexha Opened Up About Her PCOS Diagnosis

Lastly, it’s important to remember that if you are diagnosed with PCOS, it can feel overwhelming and extremely isolating. However, Courtney said that there is a huge community of people living with PCOS and there is tons of support out there.

“It is important to understand that while the PCOS diagnosis does not go away, it can be managed and symptoms can be improved. You may be told, ‘Oh you don’t have to worry about it until you want to get pregnant’ or ‘Just lose some weight.’ This is unacceptable. Living with PCOS increases the risk for chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, fatty liver, and more. So focusing on lifestyle changes, and advocating for yourself and your health is vital,” said Courtney.
