Actor
Shruti
Haasan
on
Thursday
opened
up
about
her
struggle
with
Polycystic
Ovary
Syndrome
(PCOS)
and
Endometriosis,
saying
she
is
dealing
with
the
hormonal
disorder
by
eating
right
and
giving
her
body
ample
rest.
PCOS
is
a
hormonal
disorder
that
leads
to
enlarged
ovaries
with
small
cysts
on
the
outer
edges.
It
is
typically
characterised
by
irregular
menstruation
cycles
and
infertility,
an
elevated
level
of
male
hormone
(gonadotropin),
obesity
and
often
diabetes.
Taking
to
Instagram,
the
36-year-old
actor
shared
a
workout
video
from
a
gym
and
talked
about
her
"worst
hormonal
issues".
Admitting
that
it
is
a
"tough"
fight,
Shruti
said
she
has
accepted
that
such
problems
are
"natural".
"Work
out
with
me.
I’ve
been
facing
some
of
the
worst
hormonal
issues
with
my
PCOS
and
Endometriosis.
"Women
know
it’s
a
tough
fight
with
imbalance
and
bloating
and
metabolic
challenges
but
instead
of
looking
at
it
as
a
fight,
I
choose
to
accept
it
as
a
natural
movement
that
my
body
goes
through
to
do
its
best.
I
say
thank
you
by
eating
right,
sleeping
well
and
enjoying
my
work
out,”
she
wrote
in
the
caption.
Best
known
for
her
work
in
films
like
3,
Premam,
Race
Gurram,
Vakeel
Saab,
Shruti
said
she
has
not
let
PCOS
and
endometriosis
affect
her
in
any
way.
"My
body
isn’t
perfect
right
now
but
my
heart
is.
Keep
fit,
keep
happy
and
let
those
happy
hormones
flow!
I
know
I
sound
a
tad
preachy
but
it’s
been
such
a
journey
to
accept
these
challenges
and
not
let
them
define
me," she
added.
On
the
work
front,
Shruti
will
next
be
seen
opposite
Prabhas
in
KGF
director
Prashanth
Neel's
underworld
action
thriller
Salaar.
