My Partner Has PCOS - What Should I Do?

Treatment of PCOS
What does treating PCOS look like? When talking about the elusive 'treatment' or 'cure' or 'fix' for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, and other female hormonal imbalances, there are no real steady answers in the medical field as to what would improve this. Different doctors will tell you different management symptoms. Some will put you on birth control and metformin if your periods are severely irregular and your body is showing signs of insulin resistance. Some will give you a diabetic diet and tell you to lose weight. Some will suggest gentle doses of hormones if your particular case involves your body being low in estrogen or progesterone. Herbs, supplements, and vitamins are also suggested.

The detrimental impact of aesthetic norms on emotional wellness
What are beauty standards and where do they stem from? Beauty standards are cultural beliefs that influence social power and dictate how individuals should look to be socially accepted. These standards encompass physical features like facial appearance, skin, and body shape, and can be either innate or alterable. Terms like "attractive," "pretty," and "good looking" are used to describe adherence to these standards. It can be challenging to determine which features can be changed and which cannot. Not conforming to societal beauty standards by refusing to alter one's appearance is often viewed as a moral failure. For instance, wearing makeup is not a natural or biological choice, but rather influenced by current trends.
