Lea Michele Opens up
About PCOS Diagnosis.
In a recent interview with ‘Health’ magazine,
Lea Michele spoke about her struggle with
polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). .
Michele revealed that the hormone
imbalance caused severe skin issues
for her when she was growing up.
I had terrible skin. I went on Accutane
three times. I was put on every medication
that you could imagine to help my skin.
Luckily, birth control was a savior for me
when I was in my teens, Lea Michele, via ‘Health’.
It wasn’t until her late 20s when she stopped
taking birth control that the symptoms came
back, this time with weight issues as well. .
I didn’t know what was going on. All people
wanted to do was give me more medication…
I went to a great doctor, and the minute she
looked at me, she was like, ‘Oh, you have
PCOS.’ It explained everything, Lea Michele, via ‘Health’.
Although she is able is able to manage her PCOS
through dieting and working out, Michele acknowledged
that her version of the condition is “not as intense.” .
I am very fortunate. There are way more extreme
versions of PCOS that women have a lot of
difficulty with—mine is not as intense. Which is
why I haven’t really talked about it, because there
are women who have it so much more intense, Lea Michele, via ‘Health’
