UNDERSTANDING PCOS AND PCO: WHAT MOST PEOPLE DON’T KNOW (AND SHOULD)

Polycystic O***y Syndrome (PCOS) is NOT just a “woman’s hormonal problem”. It is a complex metabolic, endocrine, and reproductive disorder that silently affects millions of women across the globe. While its name points to the ovaries, PCOS is NOT solely a gynecological issue. At its core, it is a multi-system condition driven by insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and hormonal imbalances, particularly involving excess androgens (male hormones like testosterone).

PCO, or polycystic ovaries, on the other hand, refers to the presence of multiple immature follicles in the ovaries, which can occur without the full clinical picture of PCOS.

Most women remain unaware of their condition until they struggle with infertility, irregular periods, facial hair, acne, weight gain, or unexplained fatigue. The common misconception is that PCOS is a purely reproductive disorder or that it only affects overweight women. This is FALSE. Lean women can have PCOS, and some women with polycystic ovaries may NOT have PCOS at all.

Therefore, diagnosis is based on a triad:

- Irregular ovulation or menstruation,

- hyperandrogenism (clinical or biochemical), and

- polycystic ovaries on ultrasound. You only need two out of three to be diagnosed (we call it the Rotterdam Criteria).

The deeper danger of PCOS lies in its long-term consequences. If unmanaged, it can increase the risk of Type II Diabetes, -(in fact it's even diabetes in disguise), cardiovascular diseases, endometrial cancer, and metabolic syndrome. Conventional treatment often focuses on birth control pills to regulate periods, metformin to reduce insulin resistance, or ovulation-stimulating drugs for fertility. However, these don’t address the ROOT cause and often come with side effects.

NATUROPATHIC INSIGHT: HOLISTIC HEALING BEYOND PILLS

From a naturopathic standpoint, PCOS is seen as a manifestation of internal imbalance, often stemming from insulin resistance, chronic stress, exposure to endocrine disruptors (plastics, xenoestrogens), poor liver detox, and inflammatory foods. The approach focuses on reversing insulin resistance, restoring ovulation, balancing hormones naturally, and supporting the liver and gut, the core of hormonal health.

With proper understanding and approach, there's a good outcome. This focuses on diet and lifestyle as well as the environment.

Lifestyle upgrades such as prioritizing sleep, reducing screen time, and engaging in daily movement (like brisk walking, yoga, or resistance training) improves insulin sensitivity and ovarian function. Stress management through mindfulness, prayer, deep breathing, or journaling is NON-negotiable.

Detoxification and gut health standardization or repair is NON-negotiable A sluggish liver or leaky gut can worsen estrogen dominance and hormone recycling or metabolism.

LOOKING BEYOND THE CYSTS.

What many people fail to realize is that PCOS is NOT always accompanied by ovarian cysts. In fact, some women diagnosed with PCOS may NEVER develop any cysts at all. This is why diagnosis should NOT rely solely on ultrasound findings. On the other hand, having Polycystic Ovaries (PCO) seen during a routine scan does NOT automatically mean a woman has PCOS. PCO can be an incidental finding, completely normal in some cases, and may occur without any hormonal imbalance or metabolic disturbance as a part of normal menstrual or hormonal functions. Just as I once told us that "fluids present in the Pouch of Douglas/Cul-de-Sac/Recto-Uterine Pouch/Fossa Douglassi does NOT always mean you have Pelvic Inflammatory Disease(PID) it could be normal depending on clinical correlations.

Beyond the well-known signs like irregular periods or infertility , PCOS often hides in plain sight through subtle or misunderstood symptoms. These include anxiety , depression , poor sleep quality, and the appearance of DARK velvety patches on the neck or underarms, known as acanthosis nigricans. Many women with PCOS also experience central obesity, especially around the midsection, even when they follow a seemingly “normal” diet. These signs are often DISMISSED as results of “STRESS” or “just getting FAT,” leading to years of being undiagnosed.

One major reason PCOS goes unnoticed or improperly managed is the habit of prescribing birth control pills or synthetic hormones without addressing the ROOT cause. While these drugs may provide temporary relief from symptoms like irregular menstruation , they rarely solve the underlying problem. Women are left cycling through medication after medication without ever truly understanding what is happening inside their bodies . This quick-fix approach overlooks the COMPLEX metabolic and hormonal web at the heart of PCOS.

Until PCOS is seen as a full-body issue, NOT just a reproductive one and symptoms are interpreted with deeper insight , many women will continue to suffer in silence. Proper diagnosis and care begin with awareness, and no symptom should be brushed off as “normal hormonal Wàhálà.” Women deserve more than surface-level solutions; they deserve clarity, compassion , and ROOT-LEVEL care.

THE PCOS–FERTILITY CONNECTION: HOPE IS REAL

Contrary to popular fear, PCOS does NOT equal permanent infertility. Once the root causes are addressed, ovulation often resumes naturally. With a strict two-month protocol involving dietary discipline, high-quality supplements, and stress management, many women have NOT only reversed symptoms but conceived naturally, even after years of struggle.

Interestingly, some cases labeled “infertility” are simply “inflammation + insulin resistance” in disguise. This is why a combined naturopathic-medical approach is powerful. Monitoring with medical lab. tests (FSH, LH, fasting insulin, testosterone, AMH, thyroid panel) alongside lifestyle interventions yields lasting results.

BOTTOM LINE

PCOS is NOT a curse or a life sentence, BUT a wake-up call. A woman’s period is her monthly report card from the body, and irregularity is NEVER “normal.” Whether you’re overweight or slim, on birth control or NOT, you deserve answers and sustainable solutions. With intentional nutrition, informed decisions in care, and a supportive environment, PCOS can be reversed; and motherhood, restored.

DAY 4 – UNTIL IT HAPPENS TO YOU



There’s a kind of silence we don’t talk about. The silence of medical professionals who once walked hospital corridors with confidence, now lying on stretchers, begging for the very empathy they once withheld. The silence of wealthy patients who find themselves stranded in a system they thought their money could always outwit. The silence of relatives outside emergency rooms, pressing their ATM cards against malfunctioning POS machines, praying a nurse shows mercy before it's too late.

We have built a system where healthcare begins after payment, NOT at the point of need. Where the first question isn't "Where is the pain?" BUT "Who will pay?" But life doesn’t wait for your wallet. Oxygen doesn’t wait for transfers. Heartbeats don’t pause for paperwork.

We judge patients by their shoes, accents, and grammar. We treat folders, NOT people. And in many places, you’re attended to based on your perceived financial status, or how loudly you threaten. That’s NOT triage. That’s profiling.

The bitter truth is that sickness does NOT respect salary. Cancer doesn't care about your degrees. Stroke does NOT ask if you're a consultant or a cleaner. When it happens to you and someday it might, even you may become the patient. Even you, the healthcare worker or hospital owner, might find yourself on the other end of the stethoscope, syringe or infusion set. And if it happens outside your facility, in a strange town, in a faraway emergency room where access to your bank app fails and NO one recognizes your face, and the staff treat you like a nobody because you have NO cash, you might die.

And in that moment, you will understand why we’re shouting. You’ll realize that the “policy” you defended is what might kill you.

But will your family have time to sue?

We need to stop pretending this is only a poor man’s problem. In an emergency, we are all equal, just bodies in pain, hearts trying to keep rhythm, lungs trying to breathe.

Until we fix this system, no one is safe.

DAY 3 – HUMANITY FOR SALE



There was a time when the white coat symbolized compassion. A time when healthcare meant care, when doctors and nurses were known NOT just for their skills, but for their hearts. Today, that time feels like a fairytale.

Because now, in many hospitals across Nigeria, humanity is for sale, and the price is often too high.

We stood in lecture halls, our voices trembling as we recited the Hippocratic Oath. We promised to put patients first. To preserve life. To do no harm. But somewhere between graduation and practice, the oath became decoration. Compassion was traded for convenience. Empathy was exchanged for estimates.

And in many cases, even first aid is denied until someone stamps a receipt.

A bleeding patient is asked to sit. A gasping woman is told to pay. A distressed child is ignored because their parent has NO folder number yet. And somehow, we all go home at the end of the day thinking it’s normal.

It’s NOT normal.

It’s NOT medicine.

It’s NOT the system we were trained to uphold.

And it’s certainly NOT the kind of care we would want if it were us on the stretcher.

We keep justifying it with “hospital policy,” “past experiences,” or “we’ve been scammed before.” But the truth is: in trying to protect our pockets, we have hardened our hearts. In trying to safeguard resources, we have sacrificed our humanity. Yet, what does it profit a system to balance its books while its patients die in the waiting room?

Let us be honest oh, we are losing what makes us human. And when that is lost, NO profession can redeem us. Humanity can manifest in a mentally imbalance person, it's NOT tied to anyone or any profession. When you are a human, the hallmark is to be humane. Unfortunately, human being is different from being human.

It’s time for every doctor, medical laboratory scientist, medical radiographer, every nurse, every hospital owner, and every policymaker to look inward and ask: "if this were your loved one, would you insist on payment before oxygen?" If it were YOU, stranded without access to your funds, would you want policy to determine whether you live or die?

Until we can answer that truthfully, we are NOT fit to wear the white coat.

DAY 2 – APPOINTMENTS WITH DEATH



He came to the clinic looking like a shadow of himself. Breathing shallow. Eyes tired. His wife whispered, “He hasn’t eaten in two days. He can’t keep anything down.”

After a brief assessment, the nurse/physician said, “You’ll see the Consultant Gastroenterologist in three weeks.”

Three weeks? For a man whose body is screaming for help today?

And it’s NOT just one hospital. It’s the growing pattern in many facilities across Nigeria. After spending money on card and consultation, patients are still tossed into distant appointment dates; sometimes two, three, even six weeks away. While their condition deteriorates quietly.

NO one asks, “Can he make it till then?” We assume sickness respects calendars. But death keeps NO appointment.

Someone comes with blood in their stool. Another has abnormal weight loss. Someone else presents with severe chest pain. These are NOT routine cases. Yet they are made to wait, as though delay cannot kill.

Even worse is when referrals are made to senior consultants or specialists, and the gap between booking and meeting them is as wide as A to Z, making it look like two parallel lines that can never meet. What then is the point of early detection, if early treatment is denied by red tape?

A medical system that CANNOT act fast in the face of danger is NO better than a broken alarm. We tell patients, “Come back,” but for many, that day never comes. We bury them with files still open and appointments unkept.

Hospitals must begin to triage NOT just emergency rooms but outpatient clinics too. Every hospital should have a clinical urgency desk that flags symptoms requiring prompt review. The system must evolve to say, “This case can’t wait.” Let NO life be lost to scheduling.

Because one truth stands "the sick do NOT wait."Only death does.

Don’t just read this. Share it, repost, tag authorities and voices that can push this message beyond screens.

DAY 1 – THE WAITING ROOM OF DEATH



They rushed in, panting. A small boy wrapped in his mother’s scarf, limp in her arms. His lips had turned purple. His chest was barely moving. But the woman at the reception, buried in files and forms, didn’t flinch.

“Madam, deposit first.”

NOT “Where is the doctor?”

NOT “Bring him in!”

NOT “Oya, let’s save this child.”

Instead, it was, “Go and pay.”

And in that moment, a child hung between two worlds. NOT because the doctors weren’t capable. NOT because oxygen wasn’t available. But because naira notes had NOT exchanged hands.

This is NOT fiction. It is the reality in too many Nigerian hospitals. Public and private alike.

Though private hospitals sometimes act faster, the disease of “money first, life later” has infected the entire system. Pregnant women in distress. Accident victims bleeding out. Asthmatic patients clutching their chests. Children convulsing. The first question is NOT “what’s wrong?” It is “how much do you have?”

What happened to emergency care? What happened to triage, the principle that the most serious cases are attended to first? In Nigeria, the sickest die waiting, while the ones who can pay are ushered in with golden keys.

We’ve turned hospitals into banks. Clinics into cashpoints. Lives into ledgers. You’ll hear, “We’ve been scammed before,” or “We need to protect our resources.” True.

But who protects the gasping child? Who speaks for the woman losing blood? You see, in trying to prevent fraud, we’ve committed something far worse, medical murder by bureaucracy.

Even the Hippocratic Oath is weeping.

Healthcare is NOT free, yes. But a system without humanity is a slow, silent genocide. There should be policies in place that guarantee immediate, life-saving care in emergency situations, regardless of deposit.

Every hospital should have a red zone where money stops and mercy begins. Where first aid is NOT withheld because the patient’s pocket is empty.

A country that CANNOT prioritize the life of its citizens is a country preparing for mass graves.

This is Nigeria. But it must change.

For the sake of the next child.
The next mother.
The next “you.”

Drop the yellow metabolic mayhem,
it's chemical-laden.

Corn pap, widely known as ogi or akamu may NOT be flawless. It can ferment too quickly, go sour when left too long, or even harbor microbes if NOT prepared under hygienic conditions. But at its core, pap remains what it has always been, a natural, minimally processed food made from real grains. It is steeped in tradition and rooted in generations of cultural wisdom, offering a gut-friendly option that’s alive with beneficial bacteria when properly fermented.

Now, contrast that with custard, a glossy, colorful powder marketed as a modern alternative. But you are too carried away to even check what you ingest. Artificial flavorings to trick your taste buds, synthetic colorants to appeal to your eyes, cornstarch stripped of its natural fiber and nutrients, and preservatives designed to keep it shelf-stable. NOT necessarily stomach-safe. It’s a chemical cocktail wrapped in bright packaging and sold as a sign of progress.

And as if that’s not enough, some will still go ahead and add sugar, milk, and drink it with puff puff, akara, or fried snacks... a total parade of chemicals masked as food. Your body is NOT a chemical lab.

Modernization should NEVER mean nutritional downgrade. It’s one thing to improve hygiene or speed up cooking time, but when we begin replacing traditional, fermented foods with lab-born, ultra-processed products, we must pause and ask ourselves if such a thing is truly progress OR a cleverly disguised regression.

So, are we modernizing… or are we being marketed into malnutrition?

If pap is “old school,” at least it schooled us in health.
Custard? That’s recess for your gut.

24/07/2025

Circadian Rhythm is another thing we underestimate or understress.

Physiological clock is one of the most overlooked YET powerful forces regulating our health, and it's often misunderstood or ignored completely in modern lifestyles. It is the body’s natural rhythm, also known as the circadian rhythm. This is your internal biological clock that controls when you feel sleepy, hungry, alert, focused, inflamed, or even sick. It regulates everything from hormone secretion and blood sugar regulation, to gut activity, detoxification, and even immune responses.

But modern living doesn’t respect this rhythm. We sleep when we should be awake, eat when we should be resting, and fuel our lives with sugar, energy drinks, and stress, while wondering why our bodies are breaking down silently.

It’s NOT just about what you eat anymore, but when. Timing is medicine. And disrupting that rhythm could be what’s keeping you in cycles of fatigue, weight gain, blood sugar imbalances, and chronic illness, even if your diet looks “healthy” on paper.

This isn’t about eating breakfast at 7:00 a.m. because the food industry said so, as well as the research papers founded by them. This is about reconnecting with biology, NOT obeying sponsored nutrition brochures filled with breakfast biscuits, “fortified” milk, and margarine propaganda.

CONTROL OF THE CIRCADIAN RHYTHM..
The circadian rhythm is controlled by a tiny region in the brain called the suprachiasmatic nucleus, located in the hypothalamus. This "body clock" responds mainly to light signals from the eyes to stay in sync with the 24-hour day. When light enters the eyes, the suprachiasmatic nucleus signals the pineal gland to reduce melatonin production, keeping you alert.

At night, the suprachiasmatic nucleus triggers melatonin release to promote sleep. Together, the suprachiasmatic nucleus and hormones like melatonin regulate sleep, alertness, body temperature, and more.

The body was NOT designed to be fed or medicated at random. There’s a reason insulin sensitivity is highest in the morning and drops toward the evening. Cortisol spikes at sunrise to help wake you up, NOT to be drowned in sugar and caffeine. Even your gut has a rhythm, that is to say "digestive enzymes are most active in the day, but taper off at night. Which means eating heavy meals late at night confuses your body and delays detox, digestion, and recovery."

And to be candid, some people don’t need breakfast. Time-restricted eating, intermittent fasting, or delaying food intake for a few hours after waking up can support metabolic health, give the gut time to repair, and allow the liver to complete its overnight cleanup duties.

The real problem is eating too late, too frequently, and with NO rhythm, NOT missing breakfast.

What the hell should you be doing in the kitchen by 11.00pm?

Why snacking after dinner?

- You can pop supplements. You can eat “clean.” But if your sleeping pattern is erratic, and your eating window is chaotic, your healing will be delayed. That’s why people doing everything “right” still don’t feel well.

If you want to reset your circadian rhythm, simply do these:

1. Sleep before midnight. Deep sleep starts around 9–10.00 p.m. That’s when detox, growth hormone release, and cellular repair are at their peak. I know that's the time you are busy eating plantain chips.

2. Expose yourself to early morning sunlight. It tells your brain it’s daytime and sets your clock right. It will NOT cause you skin cancer. Those domestic animals and lizards are enjoying it, they should NOT be wiser than you.

3. Time your meals. Eat during the day, NOT late at night. Let your organs rest at night.

4. Avoid artificial light at night. Blue light from phones disrupts melatonin, which messes with sleep, metabolism, and immunity. Get it right, melatonin is produced during the day, but active at night in the dark, it's a darkness hormone. Mess with it and lose your sleep.

4. Stop eating 2–3 hours before bed. Late-night food spikes insulin and delays sleep onset. Some of you even eat in the dream, you have a covalent bond with food.

DON’T LET INDUSTRY LIES REPROGRAM YOUR BODY

We must unlearn what paid “nutrition science” taught us that eating boxed cereal at 6.00a.m. makes you healthy, or that a 3-meal-a-day system was designed for your body. NO! That system was designed for industrial convenience. The body doesn’t follow the clock on your wall. It follows the light, hormones, and your habits.

This is why you see more cases of insomnia, PCOS, blood sugar crashes, fatigue, and even cancers linked to circadian disruption. Even the World Health Organization classifies night shift work as a probable carcinogen, NOT because of the job, but because of the consistent circadian misalignment it causes.

THE TRUTH WE NEED TO RETURN TO

You don’t need more fortified milk, fortified sugar, or fortified lies.nYou need sleep, light, movement, proper timing, and real food.

You need to eat with the sun, NOT with the TV.

You need to sync your rhythm, NOT destroy it chasing convenience.

Health isn’t just what’s on your plate, it’s when and how you consume it.

It’s time to let biology, biochemistry and physiology lead the way, NOT food myths and fake research.

GUARD YOUR HEALTH JEALOUSLY

Do NOT lose your leg to diabetes.

Your leg is NOT a thick tree.

It is NOT timber to be cut down by the Orthopaedic surgeon.

It is NOT firewood to be sacrificed on the altar of "I can't stop soda" or "It's just small wheat, cake, sausage, seed oil etc."

You were NOT born with diabetes. So, don't nurse it like a baby.

What you call “small sugar” today may become a silent saw tomorrow.

Amputation doesn’t start in the theatre.

It starts with denial. It starts with ignorance. It starts with careless eating and poor/unhealthy lifestyles.

Guard your plate like your life depends on it, because it actually does.

Your feet carry your destiny. Don’t trade them for a bottle of sweet poison.

24/07/2025

Let’s talk about the anterior fontanelle.

Yes, it’s actually very normal for the anterior fontanelle the soft spot on a baby’s head, to appear like it’s beating or pulsating. That “beat” you’re seeing is simply the baby’s heartbeat being transmitted through the soft membrane of the fontanelle. Underneath that spot are blood vessels and brain coverings, and since the skull bones haven’t fully fused yet, the pulse from those vessels is visible. It’s basically the baby’s natural cranial drumbeat.

Let's talk briefly about the sutures.

The sutures of the skull are fibrous joints that connect the bones of the cranium, allowing for slight movement during birth and brain growth in infancy. Among them, the lambdoidal suture lies at the back of the skull, joining the occipital bone with the two parietal bones in a shape resembling the Greek letter lambda (Λ). The coronal suture runs across the top of the head, connecting the frontal bone with both parietal bones, while the sagittal suture extends from front to back between the two parietal bones. Additionally, the squamosal sutures are located on the sides of the skull, linking the temporal bones to the parietal bones. These sutures fuse gradually with age, but in infants, they remain open to allow for brain expansion and skull molding during delivery.

NOW,
The anterior fontanelle is the largest of the fontanelles and sits at the junction where the frontal and parietal bones meet. It usually closes between 9 to 18 months of age. For some babies, it may close a bit earlier or later and still be completely normal, depending on genetic and growth factors.

There’s also a smaller, less noticeable fontanelle at the back of the head, the posterior fontanelle. It sits at the meeting point of the parietal bones and the occipital bone, along the lambdoidal suture. This one is usually triangular in shape and closes much earlier than the anterior fontanelle, typically by 6 to 8 weeks after birth.

Now, while fontanelles are meant to be soft, flexible, and open for proper brain growth, there’s a condition where one or more of these sutures close too early. It’s called craniosynostosis, and it can affect skull shape, brain development, or even lead to increased intracranial pressure if NOT recognized and managed early.

September is internationally recognized as Craniosynostosis Awareness Month. A time to educate caregivers, parents, and health professionals on early signs, such as abnormal head shapes, ridging along sutures, or premature closure of soft spots. Early diagnosis can often lead to successful surgical correction and better long-term outcomes.

So, whether it’s the gentle pulse of the fontanelle or its timing of closure, paying attention to these little landmarks on a baby’s head helps us understand and appreciate the wonders of early development. As long as the baby is healthy, feeding well, and growing, there’s usually NO need to worry. But awareness, especially around abnormal skull development, remains crucial.

20/07/2025

GENERAL PUBLIC NOTICE

A matter is burning in my heart. A reality so bitter, so baffling, and so dangerous that if we continue to ignore it, it could one day set this country ablaze. It’s NOT fiction. It’s NOT a rumour. It is happening quietly, cruelly, and consistently, right in our hospitals. It is destroying the very soul of the medical profession. NOT with noise or fire, but with silence, with paperwork, with locked doors, with withheld compassion. It is capable of killing thousands, NOT because their illnesses are incurable, but because their treatment was delayed, denied, or reduced to a transaction.

For the next seven days, I will be speaking out. One post a day. One truth at a time. Unfiltered. Unafraid. Unapologetic. This is NOT for likes or applause. This is a call to conscience. If you are a medical practitioner, a policymaker, a parent, a patient, or simply someone whose heart still beats with empathy, this is for you.

Because lives are being lost, NOT from lack of drugs, emergency medications, logistics, but from lack of urgency. NOT because doctors are powerless, but because policies are heartless. Because somewhere along the line, money became more important than mercy.

People are dying in emergency rooms because they couldn’t pay a deposit. Women in labour are being turned away because their husbands are still at the bank. Children in convulsion are made to wait while folders are arranged and receipts are issued. Patients with serious conditions are booked for appointments weeks away, as if death sends reminders before it knocks.

Every home today carries a story, a memory of someone who died NOT because help wasn’t possible, but because it didn’t come in time. We’ve buried fathers, mothers, children, and friends, NOT from disease alone, but from delay, from the cruel insistence that money must come before mercy. And when the payment finally arrives, it becomes nothing more than a receipt for regret. We must now ask ourselves: is this the fault of government policy, hospital protocol, or the cold discretion of hospital staff? Whose rule says a dying man must first pay before he is saved? And how long will we keep watching lives slip away because of a system that forgot how to care?

If we don’t talk about it now, then wait, wait until the day it happens to you. The day YOU become the patient. Even YOU, the medical professional, the administrator, the policymaker, your time may come. And when it does, it may NOT be in your own hospital, where you can pull strings or flash ID cards. It may happen in a strange town, on a lonely road, in a facility where access to your money is limited. NOT because you don’t have it, but because bureaucracy stands in the way. And when death comes while they argue over deposits, only then will you understand the weight of what we’re talking about. But by then, it may be too late for you.

We must break this silence. We must shake this table. We must hold up the mirror to a system that has forgotten the meaning of care. And so I invite you to follow the conversation, engage and share. Let the truth travel faster than denial.

The journey begins now.

You can follow the daily updates on both www.facebook.com/ferrymedics and my main account here. Those are where it all unfolds.

This is NOT just about medicine. It’s about humanity.

Let the truth speak.
