From questioning allopathic medicines to founding 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻, it all started at the age of 19 when I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
While studying in the USA, I experienced severe hair fall. The issue persisted despite having the same water and diet as everyone else.
Returning to India, a blood test revealed alarmingly high DHT levels. Further tests confirmed I had PCOS.
PCOS is a common reproductive condition affecting 3.7% to 22.5% of women in India today! The symptoms associated with it include acne, mood swings, hair fall, anxiety, weight gain/loss, and irregular menstrual cycles—the list goes on!
The worst part?
➡70% of the women affected aren’t diagnosed and, hence, are unaware.
➡Google search results dramatise the situation.
➡50% of them feel embarrassed, are body-shamed, or are introduced to dozens of allopathic medicines.
➡Most of them lack resources and means to a safe community.
Like many of you, I have been there too and faced the frustration of ineffective solutions and misinformation.
