|A story written in poems.|

The illness talked about in this story is called PCO (Poly Cystic Ovaries).

What is PCO? Polycystic ovarian syndrome, or PCOS, is a condition in which a woman's levels of the sex hormones estrogen and progesterone are out of balance. This leads to the growth of ovarian cysts (benign masses on the ovaries). It actually becomes malignant when it is not treated - it transforms to ovarian or uterus cancer.

So what does it do? Makes you infertile - but that's a later thought, with its symptoms: severe acne, hair growth everywhere (stomach, breasts, neck), depression, obesity.

How do you fix it? There's a hormonal therapy for it.
