I got married in 2009. After a year of my marriage (around 2010) my weight started increasing and white spots also started spreading on the abdomen area. My periods became irregular.
irregular and when I went for ultrasound scan, I was diagnosed with Polycystic ovaries. My weight has been increasing from then and also the vitiligo spots have spreaded on my hands,
legs, fingers, stomach, abdomen and thighs. The spots are somewhat symmetrical on both sides of body (eg. spots are present on both the left and right hands and legs on similar areas).
I am fair complexioned and my breasts have become heavy since the time my weight increased. It also appears as if my body is swollen (I dont feel the swelling specifically as such internally)
