I have really bad periods: Shruti Haasan 

Imagine having PCOS and having a bad roommate at college. Worse than hell

When compared to other fake actresses with fake life style she is far far better from them. She never felt ashamed to share her dark side( alcoholic, health issues). Sending more love and strength to you shruthi, u r strong bold and brave soul

Its a high time when Govt of Ind should give free treatment or at least make 70-80% treatment free for PCOS and PCOD!!!!

I have PCOS and it has almost ruined my life. I get behind at work, which forces me to stay up to finish work at odd hours. The lack of sleep gives me constant headaches. I don't get periods for two months then I bleed heavily for an entire month. The birth control only lessens the flow but the bleeding doesn't stop. My entire body aches, face and stomach are swollen all the time. Sometimes I feel so hungry I can eat a carpet.

Extreme painful period is enough to ruin your entire life...😢😢😢 Going through from last 22years...😢

I have PCOS problem, it's too bad, and unbearable.. mainly at present generations, completely stressful

The normal period alone is already too much for others, what more if you have irregular, bad and heavy periods.

You discussed this openly.... Thank you ....if you would have told us preventive measures also we will be grateful as well 😢 which worked for you

Hats off to Shruthi for talking so candidly and openly about PCOS. We need more celebs like her

I have crazy period cramps and back ache for the first two days! But for a lot of my friends its not a big deal and some suffer much more than me! Its differs from person to person! Difficult to make men understand and even some women too! Lets hang in there knowing we are not alone- much love

Feel really bad for what she is going through. She has won my respect totally with this. I think she is a great role model for other celebrities and young girls growing up 🙏👏.

Sending love. Someone like you opening up and supporting us girls is really appreciating

This is very brave of you Shruti. Thank you for sharing your story without cringing or make a scene of it. Instead, talk about it as is.

I’m suffering from painful periods or dysmenorrhea since I started my periods at 13 yrs. I can’t go to school, teachers don’t believe in my pain. This become worse and worse as I grow old. By 20, my pain was so bad that I can’t even stand straight and go to washroom by myself, keeps on vomitting for hours and pop up 5-6 pills everyday. First 4 days of my periods were very very excruciating even after that it doesn’t end and I used to have cramps in my uterus 20 days in a month, I used to bind heat bag around my lower abdomen tightly with my dupatta. Recently I got diagnosed with endometriosis at 23, my boyfriend helped me a lot during flare up days by massaging and heating my uterus for hours till my cramps eases even in the midnight

Thanks for sharing dear Shruti Hassan. This reminds me, I'm not alone in this pain game. ❤

Well i have not been diagnosed with anything as such but i seriously cannot explain how tough it is for some women. I got my first when i was 9, it affected my entire life. My school attendance remained between 50-60% , immunity dropped, severe random allergies developed, hairfall, memory issues. I only want to say that just don't compare yourself with someone and dont mock somebody's suffering. Its good that you do not suffer and i am happy for you and i wish you never ever suffer like us. Well the cramps have definitely decreased after i entered 20s , its much manageable now. Health is same low low.

I have the same situation and it's continuing. It's hell. Salute to her for doing so much in life while having to go through this. It distrupts the day to day life.

Same thing happens to me…. My periods started when I was 13 untill now it’s an every month battle…most of the time I have to put salines in hospital during first day of my periods…. Because of severe stomach pain , back pain , and worst bloating, ill only eat card rice during first 3 days.My parents won’t leave me alone at home while I’m in my periods… n the worst part it’s interfering my work life… I can’t go to office … during my first 2 days which made my sick leaves disappear… even I explained whole thing to my manager he was like … don’t care .. I need to quiet my job because I can’t face things …. In office… I did used hormonal pills n the side effects are worst …. Now only I’ll take supportive meds… I feel bad embarrassed about my self n period pains… it messed up my work life

I got diagnosed with endometriosis when i was 12 y/o and its been a year i am dealing with PCOS and I am 19.

Oh’ that feeling of not being alone🤍 Much needed! I have always admired her for the incredible talent she is and today the idea of pulling it off with endometriosis is giving me goosebumps 🤍 you go girl 🍀🔥

I also feel exactly same since my first periods … that pain is unexplainable… 😞

thank god someone is strong enough to share. I am so so thanks

She is super smart and very brave

Thanks to her for sharing

Thank you Shruthi for sharing the ordeals with reason and no remedy for this. One's own mother who does not have pcos is not ready to understand this and blames us as if we are making a lame excuse about painful period and boasts about her physical fittness during her periods.

Finallllyyyyy found someone exactly like me. And I think I will really worry about you too, every month when I go through it..!! More strength to you..!!

I dont have pcos or pcod but for me periods is that painfull for 1st two days its like i feel like m living with swell body with lots of mood swings,lots of back stomach leg pains. As a IT professional i have to take leave every month with lots of taunt from managers coz i dont have other options and cant explain much to others, that for some females how painfull it is.

We need periods leave irrespective of workplace

I wasn't expecting a video from Shruti Hassan talking about that. It should be so difficult to be on screen with all these conditions 🥹 I also live with these conditions as a PhD student, and things can be a hassle sometime and touch every aspects of our life. Thanks for sharing your story and I really feel proud and admirative! Love from France for all women going through that ❤

Thank you for talking about this. Its high time we get period leave. For the past 15 yrs, I have been suffering from extreme period pain especially the first 2 days. I cannot go to office but my heads don't try to understand the pain we go through, also they feel like a social taboo explaining to elderly bosses😢 every month i take pain killers since there's no other option to deal with

Poor shruthi! I hope the pain goes away soon!

More power to you❤

actress never talk about periods but I feel happy she speak about it as a problem...

I can feel you man it's way to bad I cry way too much on my first day , I puke , I faint, it's like a battle between you and your body

I suffered from endometriosis and heavy periods, till 45, finally removed uterus. It's worse feeling not only physically but mentally too

We need more women to speak up on "women's issues" instead of presuming they'll come across as sympathy-seekers or victims. I was diagnosed with PCOS at 12 (and it has gotten worse ever since), and I can vouch for every word Shruti has uttered - the bloating, the fainting, the hirsutism, and to add to it, the hormonal acne. Glad to see influential women being vocal about the condition, so no teen growing up feels less than a woman like I did.

OMG.. she is exactly speaking about what my life has been about.. having suffered with excruciating pain due to PCOS and Endometriosis all my life.. only a person going thru it knows how worst it is. Appreciate you Shruti for explaining to the world.. hope u heal .. lots of love

Thanks a lot Shruti for sharing your story... It's quite similar for me too... Ever since I started getting my periods, the first two days of my period every month are very painful. Stomach ache makes me not sleep well, eat, everything is difficult. And even if there is an exam on the day of the period, then toh it gets stressful alot...🙂

My entire family just loves her❤

More power to you !

God bless her ❤.

Nice to know you are honest.

More power to you ❤

One of my favorite actor she is very unique and very ghuts to speak like this type of personal issue I really liked her way of conveing and honest❤❤❤❤

Kudos for coming out openly with problems women have with periods 👏👏👏

God bless you sister ❤

Oo God she is very strong

I have endometerioma cyst on left ovary i gained alot of weight after pregnancy and had such bad and heavy periods. After surgery and i have reduced caffeine i feel better. Diet plays such a big part anyone reading this comment do kick out some bad habits to see change

Really brut no other news left

I work as costume designer in film industry and i can feel her working and running everywhere when you have heart attack level of pain is difficult

I have endometriosis and pcos and many other things🙂.It started last year when I was in 12th grade,I had lost so much things and depressed.I was almost 4-5 months in bed because it hurts freaking bad whenever I was walking 🙂.Not only in on periods but in off periods.

I cn relate to this . I have had congestive dysmennorhea all along , recently i was told its endometriosis. I literally get panicky wen i am in my 2nd phase of my cycle thinking of d pain i will hv to experience. But its inevitable. My sis had grade 4endometriosis too n i hv seen her wriggling dwn with pain so badly so much so tht she used to inject analgesics herself. Luckily now she is free of tht post hysterectomy.

Having PCOS is really very hard to live with and the problems we faces are just unbearable . Like Why you have a problem if i have hair on my face and literally everywhere in my body !!

I am also suffering from dysmenorrhea, my first day is like hell I have to bear a lot of unbearable pain with vomiting which makes it much more complicated. My mom suggested me to walk in the morning and at night as it balances hormones and reduces pain I also need to drink hot water in the whole month so that I can help myself to suffer a less painful periods. You all should start morning walk and eat healthy.So it's my request to simply try this for a month and you will feel better on your periods

Thank you so much for openly speaking about this. Honestly, when we share with others about what we are going through or what it is to actually have PCOS/PCOD, they are just like "oh, thats so common these days..most of them have it ..its nothing serious and * blah**blah*".... But what people dont realise is..eventhough its commonly found in women in recent days ..it is still a damn freaking condition..it is such a *** pain and depressing

Thanks for sharing it is not your story alone most of us suffer from the same problem in every month.

Yes, it happens..we just can cope up with it. We can just try to shift our focus to bear the pain or have to manage other symptoms somehow. It's annoying.

Yes ....thanx for sharing...

I have very bad period cramps on first and second day. It's like I can't breathe and the mood swings are soooooo bad. I feel like crying soo bad. And the fact that m surrounded with men only. My dad and other people. But no female as my maa passed away. So I have no one to tell or even discuss what I go through. I hope all girls out there get all love and support during these days.

I also have pcos it is not that bad I get bad stomache.I try my best to maintain my weight exercise,yoga are regular part of my life.I control my eating habits and once I gain weight my periods goes missing.Taking too much stress also affects my periods.Dr.Akhila fom banglore was my saviour I am thankful I found her on insta at a young age otherwise I would have been lost.My gynaec only gave me pills and didn't explain anything.

Im 25 year's old dealing with pcos . I was very skinny earlier then suddenly i started gaining weight dealing with many other health issues .my personal life is quite hell can't explain but i wanted to be healthier mantally, emotionally , physically but my surroundings is pretty bad whenever i get my periods i have this terrible pain in my all over body i can't tell . I used to have a 8 days periods extreme bleeding terrible cramps feel like im having heart attack but now i do have all these problems but i don't get that much blood flow i used have in my earlier days i baraly bleed but pain , vomiting , nausea , motions its still happening and my bad luck is i can't even do anything for my self knowing what im dealing with nobody understands it nobody wants to listen everybody thinks it normal but its mentally very tiring . I hope i get chance to take care of my health or my surroundings gets better atleast it would make me really happy im sure i will be ok if my personal life gets better .

Please show this video to smiti Irani

Till my second baby(normal delivery?). I dont feel I have periods itself. After second baby birth on 16th day, I started bleeding. 10 mins 1 pad will be over. Then they removed left over placenta with full anesthesia. After that my periods is struggle for me. Always heavy. Getting fever etc. I m IT professional. I cant say anyone these reason to take off. I always wish it comes on weekend.

Great sruti garu ❤

I never expect that an actress like her would have the same conditon as i do. I have been living with pcos for 5 years now im 20 still have the effect of it . The drowsiness , tension , food craving , depression . Sometimes i think i wanted to remove it but i can't ... I have been going under medication for 5 years ... And during my college holdays for 2 months ... I worked hard for my body and my perioda got regular bu then again as i got craving for food i gained weight again .. I wish there could have been some way to treat this syndrome

Love and prayers Shruti , I have PCos and endometriosis so horrible periods .. I can understand ..

Madam Smriti irani should watch this

Having endometriosis and working in corporates is a nightmare too as nobody understands why I m asking for period leaves. Even the female colleagues say stuff like we don’t feel anything much then why do u take sick leave on periods.1st few days of periods are extremely painful and makes me feel so fatigued and exhausted 😢 and unfortunately there in no cure for these chronic conditions yet.

You are very relatable

I am also suffering from endometriosis and working in th IT field. Even for me it is diffi cult to ask the manager for leave or explain the pain behind endo

True.. Painful periods is worse.. I dont have PCOS..But 1st two days i always have stomach pain.. When i visited Gynecologist she said pain is completely normal and it will be like dat.. In my career of 2yrs every single month i used to take 2 days leave.. Even though if pain is little fine, i never had mindset to sit and work.. Just want to lay in bed all day.. But sad thing is even Women Leads or Managers say it is not big deal you have to adjust it.. 😢

People with endometriosis or fibroids can have worst periods. Endometriosis often goes undiagnosed .

I am suffering with lot of pain from my first period and I got my periods once in a year with lot of struggling with cramps and heavy bleeding and I am diagnosed pcos I am taking medication since 9 yrs i.e. from 2015 still I am suffering my both ovaries enlarged in size and consists of multiple cysts and recently I diagnosed that my uterus was thin tooo 😢😢😢😢my struggle became more complicated day by day I used to bleed 10days if I start exercise for lose my weight which was gained due to this I again starts bleeding this. Making me tooo weak😢😢😢respect button for all women struggling with this 😢❤

Thank you so much Shruti for sharing about your personal struggles with PCOS , so that we are able to better understand this condition and create more awareness 💓

Ladies go thru so much physical challenges. 😢

Endometriosis is an extremely debilitating reproductive disorder, it makes people go crazy. I wish you strength, Sruthi.

With all that said she had achieved a lot 😮❤ mad respect Shruthi. You are like a soul sister to me 🥰 I went through this for almost 13 years until I gave birth. My periods got less painful and regular. But for some women it gets worse after child birth. Being a girl itself needs courage 💪 Everyone around me used to say get married amd have a child that will cure this which is crazy thing to say to a young girl who had lot of dreams. But pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum and breastfeeding is not easy too. Life is too complicated for us 😭😭

Yes thank you for sharing your experience.it may help many ,and wont be a taboo topic anymore 👍👍

My love for shruthi Hassan that she spoke about pcos directly

Yes she was right ,i was facing painful periods and dehydration from my 6th standard from school,cant imagine how much pain it will causes even after my first delivery i am now 33age still i have heavy pain cant cure with medication pain killer somtimes my periods days upto 7 days cant do home work cant focus on job nobody will understand even some ladies too , because some.of them dont have painful periods some have back pain itslef , last week i did my d and c then i found out i have fibroids still on medication but still painful

The one suffers it, only knows it #painful periods

I just cant intake any food for whole day. I just vomit so much that when nothing is left in the stomach the digestive liquids also comes out.. diarrhea starts and to add the bad cramps. I just get so tired that i automatically get sleep after 4 to 5 hrs of all above activities.

We can Heal this. Periods should be painless.

Endometriosis is when your cervical lining grows outside of the cervix. It is extremely painful and horrible and very difficult to diagnose since doctors just think it’s bad periods but it’s a lot more than that. It can even make you infertile. My heart goes out for her. ❤😢

Regular period with heavy bleeding and uncontrollable pain😢 I take leave from my job every month 2nd days of my menstrual cycle😢

i can relate to her very with😢it

Strong woman ✨

Okay, so, a lot of women suffer from this issue worldwide and it's a serious thing. I hope celebs won't glamorise this one too

And when I went to the gynecologist she said it's normal and gave me pills. I said I don't want temporary results but there was no response.

Having pcos since 13 years old..now 33 ...alot of suffering until now...doctors said it common sick..but actually it is not.. alot of painfull

Yes,even my son and husband act weird when I try to discuss issues as my son needs to know how a woman feels while on period. It’s my duty as a mom to make him understand but not sure why he doesn’t get it..

Yes madam now a days for girls of this generation pcos prblm is a big problem for ladies

I felt every word of her cause I go through the same every month some months even after my periods are over I get water retention in my stomach and deal with symptoms on daily basis. Why me? I used to ask and cry but now I know that I m not alone and if she is fighting I should complain less and fight it out. Maybe I will be ok someday.

There is desi variety of rice called kullakar which would work wonders on womens health if consumed regularly. Have personally met few people who got benefitted from it.

Very important to know , if it's hereditary, secondly our lifestyle, stress, sleep, regulating these things nothing is impossible to cure, just exercise, eat right, sleep well, may be a yr or two it might take but it will improve your health ❤, right protein, right fibre, probiotic, less carbs. Pranayam, yoga, strength training, cardio.

Same I have pcos..I have a same problem but I have 2 kids naturally conceived and normal delivery..starting days I'm also take a medicines for monthly cycles ..but later I stoped and do physical works regularly and eat healthy and forget my issues .now I'm also having pcos and irregular period but it's possible getting pregnant..it's not major issue for prgnt ..thinking makes stress and its major disease..

I have endometriosis disease 4th stage..... 2 months back operated for cyst..... as she says next step for me is to use birth control..... not for pregnancy but for relieve the pain and make sure blood should not collect in ovary instead of uterus

Pray 🙏 🤲 for your speedy recovery ❤💓 Shruti Hassan To be honest I also have bad period pains when I'm at my teenage... Now when I get older the pain reduce and the period regulations get back on track... 😂😂its all because our hormones... It's normal for all ladies... anyway Applause for Shruti Hassan for bringing this topic to media... 👍🙌

I can relate ... Pcos is bad really bad ... I get depressed

idk if have pcos or not but i do feel severe pain on starting 2 days ,paining like from stomach to back everything that i cant even stand straight , with constant feeling of swelling in the stomach
