Etinosa Idemudia, a Nigerian actress, has revealed that she
battled polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) for seven years before eventually
welcoming a child.
The actress brought the revelation to light in an Instagram
post aimed at encouraging other women battling similar ailment on Friday.
PCOS is a hormonal disorder common among women of
reproductive age. Women with the disease may have infrequent or prolonged
menstrual periods or excess male hormone (androgen) levels.
In the post, the movie star chronicled the trauma associated
with having several miscarriages due to the disease.
She, however, said her experience should be an inspiration
to other women, adding that with the right treatment, the disease is not
incurable.
“Everyone is facing one battle or the other let’s encourage
each other. This is very difficult for me to share but I can’t ignore the
messages. One particularly made me emotional,” she wrote.
“You suffer to get pregnant then miscarriage raises its ugly
head!! I have been there. Not pretty one bit but today I stand with you and we
will all testify one after the other.”
In an earlier post on Thursday, the Warri-born actress had
expressed her excitement at welcoming her baby in December after battling with
the disease for years.
“This year (referring to 2020) l defeated PCOS. This year I
carried my own child. To every woman TTC, please do not give up. Do not let
anyone exploit you by selling all sorts of medications to you, be careful.
Please try to be happy and trust this God,” she had written.
