My Hairy [Muslim] Ovaries

Uzma Jafri
About this episode

Ayesha Nava is our candid guest who shares notes with Zaiba today on PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), which is more common than we think and often interferes with one’s attempts at having children.
Learn the signs and symptoms that could indicate PCOS in our bodies or in our daughters’. Yes! Look for signs in our young pubescent daughters because extreme pain and super heavy menses are not normal. Doctors are much better at helping us identify this condition earlier now and can help us plan for all of our future fertility journeys.  Tune in at 6pm EST on Apple podcasts, Stitcher, Amazon Music, or head directly to our website.
