When actress Etinosa Idemudia opened her Instagram app, she didn’t expect to find herself the target of yet another cruel comment. A woman had mocked her body, pointing out what she called “visceral fat.”
Instead of clapping back, Etinosa paused. Curiosity and courage led her to Google the term.
What she discovered hit home: visceral fat is a common symptom of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), a hormonal condition that affects millions of women worldwide.
That realisation turned what could have been just another harsh comment into a moment of awareness.
“I discussed it with my gynaecologist,” she wrote.
“PCOS has no cure, you only manage its symptoms.”
Her post didn’t stop there it turned into a message of solidarity.
To every woman silently battling the same condition, to every wife or sister enduring whispers or mockery, she offered hope:
“I’m writing this to every woman out there with PCOS you are not alone.”
“Even if it’s your husband mocking you or strangers online, you will overcome.”
“I carried my baby, and you will carry yours.”
“That facial hair or stubborn fat does not make you any less,” she wrote.
“You are beautiful, and you are enough.”
