What: In a detailed interview on the SHE MD podcast, actress Florence Pugh discussed living with PCOS and endometriosis, and her decision to freeze her eggs at 27 years old. (Sharing her story then led to dozens of articles on Pugh’s decision to freeze her eggs, a phenomenon that is often reserved for news of pregnancy itself.) Pugh said she hopes her story encourages women to advocate for their reproductive health and consider early intervention options.
Key line: “If diagnosed with PCOS or endometriosis, discuss the possibility of egg freezing with your doctor, especially if you plan to have children later in life. Although PCOS patients often have a high egg count, egg quality typically decreases after 30, making early discussion around egg freezing essential.”
