        Yes. PCOS causes hormonal imbalances in that lead to bloating, abnormal amounts of abdominal fat, cramps. The cherry on top is having IBS at the same time.

        Everything combined stretches my stomach to the point where my skin hurts. When I consulted my doctor about it, she had to do an hCG test to be sure that I wasn’t pregnant.

      I know someone who had uterine fibroids. It didn’t really bother her otherwise, so she just let them be, until people started congratulating her on being pregnant. (Then she had them removed.)
