“Aap PCOD Se Thode Bade Lagne Lagte Ho”: Dhvani Bhanushali On Growing Up With Acne And PCOD

The hormonal imbalances caused by PCOS can lead to a range of symptoms, including irregular periods, weight gain, and acne. Unfortunately, skin issues are a common and frustrating side effect of PCOS, and they can often be the most difficult to manage. In the latest episode of Hauterrfly’s The Male Feminist, Dhvani Bhanushali shares her experience of growing up with PCOD and how it impacted her. 

Have you ever come across the phrase, beauty is merely skin? Well, it’s true! And it’s a lesson that Dhvani learned the hard way. In a heartfelt conversation with The Male Feminist, Siddharth Aalambayan, Dhvani opened up about her struggles with acne and PCOD, two conditions that left her feeling self-conscious and insecure during her formative years. For Dhvani, her struggle with acne and PCOD left her feeling like she didn’t belong.

Acne is a common skin condition that can be incredibly frustrating to deal with. Not only can it be painful and uncomfortable, but it can also make you feel self-conscious and insecure. For Dhvani, her acne was just the beginning of her troubles.

PCOD, or polycystic ovary syndrome, is a hormonal disorder that can cause a range of symptoms, including acne, weight gain, and hair loss. One of the most challenging aspects of PCOD for Dhvani was that it made her look older than her age. Being told you look older than you are can be incredibly difficult to hear, especially when you’re already struggling with other issues. Dhvani shared that this was one of the biggest challenges she faced growing up. She felt like she didn’t fit in with her peers and was often treated differently because of her appearance.

Unfortunately, Dhvani’s struggles didn’t stop with acne and PCOD. She further mentioned how looking older than her age also made her the target of unwanted male attention. As a child, it can be difficult to navigate the complexities of adult behaviour and attention, especially when it comes in the form of obnoxious gazes and inappropriate comments. Dhvani’s experience with this kind of attention was undoubtedly distressing, and it likely made her feel even more self-conscious and insecure.
