Sasha Pieterse's Struggle with PCOS and Her Happiness as a Mother

Sasha Pieterse, who played Hanna on "Pretty Little Liars," has spoken out about the difficulties of living with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and how they affected her career as an actress.

Pieterse revealed her battle with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in an open conversation on the podcast "The Squeeze," where she also discussed her struggles with metabolism changes and unexplained weight gain at the age of 15 and 16. At 17, the situation worsened when she gained 70 pounds in a single year. Her attempts to get medical attention were met with a frustrating lack of clarity.

Pieterse went to more than 15 different gynecologists in search of answers, but she was often given inadequate diagnoses and even blamed for her weight gain. Despite her confusion and frustration, she kept looking for a diagnosis that would make sense of her symptoms.

After years of searching, Pieterse found answers when an endocrinologist diagnosed her with polycystic ovary syndrome. When a person has polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), their metabolism, hormone levels, and menstrual cycle are all impacted.

The actress emphasized that PCOS is a condition that can be diagnosed through hormone tests and medical evaluations in addition to its outward manifestations. The symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) vary from person to person and can include ovarian cysts, altered hair growth patterns, digestive problems, and, of course, excess weight.

Pieterse's story turned out well despite the difficulties caused by PCOS. In 2020, she and her husband Hudson Scheaffer welcomed their son Hendrix into the world. The journey Pieterse took to become a mother was an inspiring example of her strength and perseverance.

Her story illustrates the importance of early diagnosis and medical support for conditions like PCOS, as well as the ups and downs that come with learning about and taking charge of one's health. The courage with which Pieterse has shared her experience can serve as a source of hope and empowerment for others facing difficulties on their own journeys to health.
