PCOD reason - #12523

Aasha

I am really confused and a little overwhelmed right now because my doctor mentioned something about a PCOD reason that could be behind all my recent health issues. For like the past year, I've been struggling with really irregular periods, and it's been super frustrating. I went to the doctor thinking it was just stress or something, but after a bunch of tests, they told me I might have PCOD. They gave me some information about the PCOD reason, but honestly, it was a lot to take in and I'm struggling to process it. Like, how did this happen? They said it could be hormonal imbalances, but is that the only PCOD reason? I've also heard diet can play a part, which makes me worry since my eating habits aren’t the greatest. Is it too late to make changes, if diet is a PCOD reason? Do I really need to go on medication, or can lifestyle changes be enough? Just feeling really lost and would love to hear what you guys think about the PCOD reason and if anyone else has faced something similar. Thanks!
