it's the "everyone wants to save the world but no one wants to help mom do the dishes" thing to me. they want to be hero of the day saving women in dark streets but never tackle the everyday things/ppl (incl themselves) contributing to rape culture
so this is how i learned that when i was screened for PCOS at 19, they didn’t actually need evidence of cysts to diagnose. but i got an ultrasound (which was traumatic!), no hormone testing, reporting cycles that lasted 30+ days. just treated with birth control since.
PCOS is being renamed to PMOS. (Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome)
The change comes from experts that say the old name was misleading, stating that it inaccurately suggested ovarian cysts as a defining feature.
and since then, i have asked to have my hormones checked and was told it couldn’t be done without going off birth control for an extended period. i was planning on asking about spiro for my insanely persistent acne at my next appointment. but looks like we have more questions!
