Sasha Pieterse discussed the challenges of gaining 70 pounds at age 17 — while filming a hit TV series — due to her experience with polycystic ovary syndrome.
According to Pieterse, doctors accused her of lying about the weight gain and insinuated that an unhealthy lifestyle was to blame.
“It was the most frustrating experience and disheartening because no matter what I did, no matter how well I behaved, no matter how great I treated my body, things were actually getting worse rather than better. It was very very confusing,” she continued. “So after a long process, someone recommended that I go to an endocrinologist.”Freeform/Scott Patrick Green“I was like, ‘What’s that?’ I’d never heard of PCOS before. And it’s a disease, it’s not curable.
Pieterse continued: “You won’t have a regular period, but the catch is, a lot of other things look different, so every woman — everyone has a different experience with it. It could be your period, it could be weird hair growth, it could be major gastro[intestinal] issues, it could be crazy cysts on your ovaries, it could be weight gain. I had a lot of those outward symptoms that everyone could see.
