'I drew the parts of my body in proportion to how much PCOS ruined them': Experiences of polycystic ovary syndrome through drawings.
Polycystic ovary syndrome is a chronic endocrine disorder associated with persistent physical symptoms and psychological and lifestyle repercussions. Eighty-nine participants (83 females, 6 non-binary) aged 19-43 years described their experiences of polycystic ovary syndrome through drawings and personal accounts. Four descriptive themes were identified: awareness of visible and invisible symptoms, misshapen self and body, limitations and barriers and resignation. Taken together, participants described a condition with all-encompassing effects: much more than symptom management alone. Findings support the use of drawings as an appropriate method with this population and suggest continuing need for supports for individuals with polycystic ovary syndrome.
