Newly Diagnosed - How do I educate my husband?
I am newly diagnosed with PCOS. Turns out my years of fatigue/low energy, irritability, depression and appearance issues weren't just me being overly sensitive and lazy. Now how do I explain to my husband what PCOS is and how is affects me physically, mentally and emotionally so that he understands why I feel the way I do? I'm afraid he won't believe me or just figure I'm making excuses for my "laziness". Anyone have a similar experience or have any suggestions?
Explain it as a hormonal disorder, a mismatch between your body structure and its chemistry Your body is structurally unprepared to handle the chemicals (hormones) that it produces, and this causes a wide range of problems. For someone who's already testosterone-dominant, an equivalent disorder would involve reducing testosterone production and increasing estrogen production in his body. This would cause all sorts of symptoms, emotional and physical, that would have similar effects on his mood and behavior.

The most visible symptom is ovarian cysts, so the syndrome is named for them, but that doesn't mean that the cysts are the cause of the syndrome. They're a symptom alongside many others.
