PCOS symptoms affects my self-esteem

Eva

I’ve been diagnosed with PCOS this year 14th August, and I have irregular period. Once, my period did not come for 364 days. I was really scared as I did not know what I had.

Later on, in 2017 I began to have hair on my chin and on my stomach. And I already had low self/esteem due to my weight, but having chin hair made it worse.

Now I have been given Yasmin contraceptive pills to regulate my period, which works effectively.

In order to deal with my unwanted chin hair I used to shave it, which is bad, but now I’ve stopped and I pluck + wax it but it is not so effective.

I wear a scarf all the time to hide my chin as I’m heavily embarrassed.

Btw I’m 18 yro.
