Hellooooo everyone.
its been awhile.. yea yea I know that I said that I will blog more but yea.. things happened! :P
Okay.. Actually I wasnt ready to share this in my blog but I feel like I have to create awareness about this issue. So the story begins after I went to Phuket last April where I have this uncomfortable feeling with my body especially my periods. My period went irregular suddenly at that time and it has been irregular until July. I havent gotten any period since July onward till September which at first I thought I was pregnant but I have no clear signs of pregnancy. I took a pregnancy test few times during that time and all resulted with (-) signs.
Hence, i started google-ing what might have happen to my body, turns out.... I came accross this one article where it says "Negative pregnancy test with months of no period resulted in PCOS". At that time I wasnt sure on what PCOS is but Ive gotten the signs that I might have PCOS since I have few of its characteristics. So, the following weeks, to determine that I have PCOS or not, I went to get a full medical check up at Klinik Pakar Wanita Medina located at Melati Utama. (No one has warned me that the clinic is so fcking expensive, my bad also since I havent done any thorough research) I waited for nearly 4 hours to get to meet the Dr. That time I was so pissed off, my level of stress is very high and I said what I said. Right at 6.00 pm upon waiting from 2 pm, I got into the Dr's room.
Upon meeting with the Dr, my heart cool down a bit since the Dr is so niceee. I forgot all the waiting hours Ive waited before. Then, I started telling her what problems do I have. Then she did a pap smear test on me and later.... she did this thing called "trans-vaginal ultrasound" which I have never experienced before. Trust me, IT HURTS SO BAD. I was so surprised at that time when the Dr put the thing inside my vagina. Then on the screen, she showed me my eggs/Ovum which has gather on my uterus wall. There are so many of them (Why though you guys have to gather there?) on my wall. Then the doctor said that this is why I havent gotten any period. My testosterone is very high and that explains why my I havent gotten any period. So, testosterone is actually a hormone that usually found in male, female produce testosterones as well but not as high as male. Meanwhile, a woman with PCOS has high testosterone level than those who doesnt have.
While the Dr was showing me my gathered eggs/Ovum, I cant help to cry but been holding myself back at that time. Rash is also there with me together listening to what the Dr is explaining. So, she proceeds, she mentioned that my egg size is not normal, my biggest egg was at 7cm and normal female should have a diameter of 21cm of egg. So, yeah ive been diagnosed with PCOS. Alhamdulillah, upon further checking, I have no cysts / Cervical cancer (which frightened me the most). .
So, you guys must be wondering what does PCOS stands for right?
- PCOS is generally means "Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder common among women of reproductive age. Women with PCOS may have infrequent or prolonged menstrual periods or excess male hormone (androgen) levels. The ovaries may develop numerous small collections of fluid (follicles) and fail to regularly release eggs." - Source from Google.
- PCOS is a hereditary disease. Out of 10 women, 5 has PCOS. Plus, most women actually never knew that they have PCOS.
- PCOS is incurable. (But I am gathering more research on this and will keep updating if theres any way to actually cure it)
- PCOS doesnt only affect overweight woman, it can happen to anyone.
Causes of PCOS;
- The Dr I met clarify that theres still no scientific evidence that causes PCOS. She assumes that the increase volume of male hormone in female body might be the main cause of PCOS. Plus, weight, stress and other few factors might be the causes as well.
Signs
- Irregular periods / No period at all.
- Hirsutism (this explains why I grow a moustache. LOL)
- Difficulty getting pregnant
- Weight gain
- Hair thinning / hair loss
- Oily skin/Acne
* The Dr also clarifies that married couple whos trying to conceive at the beginning of their marriage and having no signs of pregnancy till 5th months of their marriage should meet the Dr and have a check up on their uterus. Even male is encouraged to do the sperm test. The Dr said that dont trust all the makciks2/friends who often said "Oh tak pregnant lagi, takpee tunggu dua tahun nanti cek la" DONT TRUST THEM, DO YOUR CHECK UP UPON 5TH MONTH OF TTC"
Luckily, I realized this way earlier other than dah sakit teruk baru nak sedar. *
The Dr then explains and guide me on what should I do to treat/cure PCOS but I will continue those on my next post.
Later that night, after I found out that I was diagnosed with PCOS, i was feeling so down, I cried all night. I blame myself for not getting pregnant. I kinda feel sorts of mixed feeling at that time. Alhamdulillah, I have such a wonderful husband who understands everything and believe that this is a test from Allah and all rezeki is from Him as well. Be it PCOS or anything, if it was not meant to be then it will not be.
Oh, by the way, the cost for my full check up at the Clinic was RM900.00++ and.... that was the last time I went there. HAHAHA
Will look for another affordable clinic next year!
