Influencer, Aproko Doctor’s Wife Encourages Women With PCOS

In an uplifting tweet that has since gone viral, Chiamaka Nwakalor-Egemba, the wife of popular health influencer Aproko Doctor, gave hope to women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), who are struggling with infertility.

Chiamaka, a PCOS warrior herself, used the example of Nigerian content creator Maraji, who’s now expecting her third child without IVF, as a beacon of hope for other women battling the condition. Her message was clear— PCOS does not mean the end of your fertility journey.

“Maraji is on Baby number 3, no IVF so far. She is a PCOS Warrior.  My PCOS Warriors, THERE IS STILL HOPE!”she wrote

She continued with a motivational call to others:

 “Don’t let your faith shake. Fight and have control of your mind and body. If you need help, I have a support group. I even show the recipe that helped me. YOU WILL SMILE AGAIN!”

The tweet sparked a flood of emotional responses and questions. Some users opened up about their undiagnosed symptoms, others asked what PCOS meant, and many requested to join her support group.

Symptoms of PCOS often start around the time of the first menstrual period. Sometimes symptoms develop later after you have had periods for a while.

The symptoms of PCOS vary. A diagnosis of PCOS is made when you have at least two of these:

• Irregular periods. Having few menstrual periods or having periods that aren’t regular are common signs of PCOS. So is having periods that last for many days or longer than is typical for a period. For example, you might have fewer than nine periods a year. And those periods may occur more than 35 days apart. You may have trouble getting pregnant.
• Too much androgen. High levels of the hormone androgen may result in excess facial and body hair. This is called hirsutism. Sometimes, severe acne and male-pattern baldness can happen, too.

Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy

One ❤️❤️❤️
