6 Myths About PCOS And Why They Are Wrong

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is often surrounded by misconceptions that can not only lead to misinformation but also stigmatisation. Here are some common myths about PCOS and the reasons why they are incorrect:

While PCOS is more prevalent in women who are overweight or obese, it can affect women of any body type. PCOS is a hormonal imbalance that can impact women regardless of their weight. In fact, the disease makes women gain weight uncontrollably.

Although PCOS is one of the leading causes of infertility due to irregular ovulation, many women with PCOS can conceive with the right treatment and lifestyle changes.


The symptoms of PCOS can vary significantly from one person to another. While some women may experience severe symptoms, such as hirsutism or menstrual irregularities, others might have mild symptoms or different manifestations of the disorder.


While weight management can help alleviate the symptoms of PCOS and improve the effectiveness of medications, it is not a cure. PCOS is a chronic condition that requires ongoing management, even if symptoms lessen.

PCOS Only Affects Your Reproductive Health

PCOS is associated with a variety of health issues beyond fertility, such as increased risks of insulin resistance, Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and mental health disorders like anxiety and depression.

PCOS is far from rare; it affects approximately 10% of women of childbearing age, making it one of the most common hormonal disorders among women in this age group.

Here are some common myths about PCOS and the reasons why they are incorrect.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) as a condition comes with many side effects and invisible problems which can be somewhat managed through dietary choices. Here are some foods and drinks that are beneficial for those with PCOS.

Drinking green tea can be beneficial due to its antioxidant properties. It's believed to help in reducing insulin resistance and can promote weight loss, both of which are beneficial for PCOS management.

Regular consumption of spearmint tea may help lower androgen levels, which can reduce symptoms like excess hair growth and acne in women with PCOS.


High in omega-3 fatty acids and fibre, flax seeds can help manage hormone levels and improve PCOS symptoms. They also support heart health by lowering cholesterol.


Incorporate fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, and sauerkraut, which are rich in probiotics. These can improve digestion and help maintain a healthy gut microbiome, potentially aiding in better hormone balance.

These tiny seeds are a powerhouse of nutrients, providing a good dose of omega-3 fatty acids, fibre, and protein, all of which can help in regulating blood sugar levels and improving insulin sensitivity.

Meghan Markle Ditches Neutrals In Nigeria: Her Top Fashionable Looks

Meghan Markle is usually the best dressed in a room full of stylish people but even her sartorial choices failed to create magic in front of the vibrancy and colour of the people of Nigeria. 

In a recent visit, Meghan said while she’s someone who loves her neutrals she quickly got the “memo” to wear “more colour”. Here are our top picks of what we loved from her trip to Nigeria with her husband Prince Harry: 

That yellow dress was possibly the first time Meghan wore colour on the trip and we loved how she switched from nude-pink dresses to bolder, brighter choices. 

Meghan's dress got more character after she accentuated it with a green shawl that was presented to her at an event.

Meghan turned heads in a bright red dress with ruffles at the hem. It was classy, fun and looked like a page from the former actress's fashion diary.

We loved her lungi skirt with bright coral blue stripes. She paired the skirt with a white shirt, a total slay.

Meghan's zebra-printed dress with a thigh-high slit was another great look. She paired it with thing sandals.

Roamed Earth When It Was on the Other Side of the Milky Way

When dinosaurs ruled the Earth, the planet was on a completely different side of the Milky Way galaxy. This was revealed by NASA a few years back through an animation.

In November 2019, an animation by NASA scientist Dr Jessie Christiansen showed just how long the dinosaurs’ reign lasted, and how short the era of humans has been in comparison, by tracing the solar system’s movement through the galaxy.

The sun orbits the Milky Way’s centre, completing its rotation every 250 million years or so. And, the animation by Dr Christiansen showed that last time the solar system was at its current point in the galaxy, the Triassic period was in full swing and dinosaurs were just beginning to emerge.

Christiansen got the idea to develop this animation when she was leading a stargazing party at California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.

Actors Who Would Be Perfect As Fantastic Four's Dr Doom

Dr Doom will be making his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) soon, and he will likely be a part of the upcoming Fantastic Four Film, reports have claimed.

Production of the upcoming Fantastic Four movie will begin this summer and the film will be released by July 2025. Here's a look at the actors who will be perfect for Dr Doom.

The Peaky Blinders and Oppenheimer star plays villainous roles with relative ease, especially when he looks at people with his sledgehammering stare. The Irishman is known for taking up challenging roles and can bring a regal, calm quality to Doom, according to Screenrant.

For years, Mads Mikkelsen has shown the ability to portray incredible villains - from playing Le Chiffre in James Bond's Casino Royale to Hannibal Lecter in the famous American TV series Hannibal. The actor was wasted as the boring Kaecilius in Marvel's Doctor Strange, and a new role as Dr Doom would allow him to show his full potential.

Famously known for his role as Rick Grimes in The Walking Dead where the character transitions from being calm to extremely violent, Andrew Lincoln is also among the top contenders for Dr Doom.
