Being a doctor means explaining PCOS 53 times a week and still hearing, ‘But she’s fat, so it’s her fault.’

I had a patient with tears in her eyes because her relatives told her she can’t ever be a mom.

I had to tell her, gently, that they’re wrong. That PCOS is real. That she isn’t broken.

Sometimes I leave the OPD room feeling like I’ve been in a war of hormones, myths, and Whatsapp remedies.

But seeing one girl walk out smiling again? Worth every bit.
