“Just close your eyes.” That was the instruction that she was given, when fear kept her from a scan meant to explain the pain. At 17, she was diagnosed with PCOS — a decade earlier than most women.

What medicine gets right, what it overlooks, and why women deserve more than band-aid solutions. ❤️ Join the conversation. 👉 Read the full piece here: https://lnkd.in/ekuPejXJ
