Look around you: among every 10 women you know, your mother, sister, wife, daughter, cousin, friend, co-worker…, at least one may be silently battling PCOS.
And whether it’s you or someone you love, your action today could be the turning point in her story.
September is PCOS Awareness Month and awareness is powerful.
It leads to earlier diagnosis, better care, and prevents long-term complications like diabetes, infertility, and heart disease in women with PCOS.
It also clears away myths like marriage “cures” PCOS, that only larger women get it, or that it’s some kind of curse.
Your voice today could spare a young woman 10 years of misdiagnosis, or it might be the push that finally makes a woman who hasn’t had a period in 3 years take action.
This month, choose to break the silence and spark change.
Unseen, Until Now
For the woman skipping work because her bleeding won’t stop, the one smiling at family gatherings while silently grieving recurrent miscarriages, the one dismissed by doctors again and again, these are the stories we can’t ignore.
And this September, they’re finally being told.
Beyond d’ Symptoms: Behind the Struggles. A documentary movie on PCOS
On September 13th, a powerful documentary is showing.
An exciting fact for PCOS Conquerors Community is that Mrs Seyi Amao, our chief conqueror will be present to speak at this documentary.
This film is a mirror. It captures the raw, unfiltered journeys of Nigerian women living with PCOS.
Their voices reveal what numbers never could, that silence is no longer an option.
When you leave the premiere, you’ll walk away carrying real stories, a deeper understanding, and the power to spark change in your own circle.
