PCOS is the one of the most common hormonal disorders amongst women of reproductive age, and yet a surprising amount of people have never heard of it. The lack of awareness and sensitivity around the condition make dealing with it a lot harder than it needs to be, and lead women to being undiagnosed for years. I myself was diagnosed 6 years after showing my first symptoms. Beyond The Cysts is first and foremost dedicated to educating about PCOS. But it’s also a safe space for cysters everywhere to share their experiences and exchange advise. I do not see the point in fighting this battle in the dark. I don’t want any girl out there to feel as alone and as confused as I did in the beginning of my journey. I want to turn what I’ve been through into something meaningful, spread awareness and assist other women in their journeys.
