PCOD After Marriage Why Does It Feel So Hard?
Marriage had just begun for Meera, a 26-year-old newlywed.
New home. New relationships. New dreams.
But along with bangles and blessings, Meera carried a quiet worry PCOD and irregular periods.
She smiled in front of her in-laws, laughed with her husband, and followed every custom.
But inside, she felt scared.
“What if they ask about babies?”
“What if my body fails me?”
“What if they think something is wrong with me?”
One day, gathering all her courage, Meera walked into Dr. Ananya’s clinic hoping for answers and reassurance.
Meera sat quietly, twisting the edge of her dupatta.
“Doctor,” she said softly, “I was diagnosed with PCOD before marriage. Now my periods are still irregular. I feel embarrassed at my in-laws’ house… and scared with my husband.”
Dr. Ananya smiled kindly.
“Meera, you are not alone. Many women face PCOD problems after marriage, especially due to stress, lifestyle change, and emotional pressure.”
What Is PCOD?
Dr. Ananya explained in simple words:
- PCOD means the ovaries make many immature eggs
- These eggs form small cysts
- This causes irregular periods
- Hormones get slightly disturbed
“It’s common and manageable,” she added. “But marriage brings pressure, and pressure worsens PCOD.”
Meera nodded slowly.
“So marriage didn’t cause PCOD… but it made it louder?”
Dr. Ananya smiled.
“Exactly.”

Dr. Ananya listed common signs Meera should watch for:
- Periods coming late or skipping months
- Sudden weight gain
- Pimples or oily skin
- Hair fall
- Mood swings
- Feeling tired all the time
- Fear related to pregnancy
Meera whispered,
“I have almost all of these.”
