🔹 Irregular periods
🔹 Mood swings
🔹 Fatigue

Polycystic O***y Syndrome (PCOS) is more than just weight concerns—it’s a complex hormonal condition that can impact your body, mind, and emotions. From fatigue and mood swings to irregular cycles and unexpected weight changes, the challenges are real—and often invisible.

✨ What you need is understanding and support, not judgment.
You deserve a care plan that’s tailored to your unique health needs—one that sees the whole you.

Now, it’s time to connect with someone who truly understands. 💜

It’s okay divas, there’s no need to run from your first cervical screening test. 🏃‍♀️

It helps detect HPV and abnormal cells in the cervix that might turn into cancer if not caught and treated early.

You can even do your cervical screening test in private (called self-collection) or have a healthcare provider collect the sample for you.

If you’re 25 or older and have had any type of sexual contact with someone, you should have a regular cervical screening test every five years.
