Samantha Allen is an inspiration. She was diagnosed with a condition that affected many aspects of her life. However, she is brave to accept and embrace her body and motivates other people, too.
Samantha has a rare condition.
Our girl was diagnosed with a condition that makes her sprout excessive hair all over her body alongside painful symptoms. Nevertheless, Samantha finds courage and motivates other people on social media.
She is brave!
She was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which causes the ovaries to produce excessive male hormones. This condition affects 70-80% of all people with PCOS and up to 10% of women of childbearing age. Samantha told Media Drum World: “I have had many women claim I am brave.”
Samantha was diagnosed at an early age.
Allen claims that she experienced the symptoms from an early age. When she was 8 years old, she began shaving her legs. By the age of 11, she had facial hair.
She has faced many obstacles.
This brave lady shared that she was bullied throughout middle school and high school. “People called me Chewbacca, a man,” said Allen, referring to the furry Star Wars character.
Allen is loved by many people.
People love and support her. Many of them leave comments like “I just want to say that you’re an inspiration and very pretty,” “This is so powerful,” and “I’m currently going through some hormonal changes and my body hair is starting to grow in more places I love that you so comfortable in your skin I want to get to this point. You’re an inspiration!”
Samantha said: “Seeing my pictures and story out there helps women in their journey as well.”
What do you think of her story? Tell us in the comments below.
This woman has my pity, if only because I loathe most all the hair on my body. If I could dive headfirst into a swimming pool filled with Nair (without bodily harm), I would. (Contrarily, I wish I could grow a beard, but, alas, I cannot.) I can’t grow hair where I want to; I grow it perpetually where I do not. My hair is falling out of my head and taking residence in my ears, eyebrows, & nostrils, apparently.
My husband is the same way, except the. beard part. He can grow his
Yea no…. Don’t normalize things that are abnormal. Just like you shouldn’t normalize people who are obese or have eating disorders.
She’s beautiful inside and out ❤️
This is dumb
Rude
Brave! I’m a female and I struggle with my hair (like that) so yeah
Pcos isn’t nearly “rare”
Yeah I have PCOS too and saying that it’s rare is a bunch of bs. A simple google search would disprove this article, and also, a simple visit to the doctor would as well, because that’s actually how I found out that it wasn’t as rare as it seems. It’s kinda misleading but if I had to guess it was just needed for the dramatic flare 🙄
To add to that, not everybody who has this disorder grows excessive body hair. I don’t, yet if my PCOS isn’t treated it leads to very bloody, very painful periods.
Otherwise, yes, this girl has a pretty face and I’m really glad she is putting PCOS in the spotlight. It needs to be known because it affects so many people.
You’re right. It’s not. Saying it is will prevent women from seeking a proper diagnosis. We have to stop the stigma too. PCOS is a complex metabolic disorder. I’ve had it since I was 10 years old or so according to my doctors. I’ll be 60 this year. Menopause does not cure PCOS either. People–INCLUDING MANY DOCTORS — need to educate themselves. It’s not just about menstrual periods and infertility.
It’s a shemale it’s a dude loool
She is not. She is 100% female she is also a wonderful human being and beautiful soul she is also my niece
And one of the best and funniest people I have ever known.
I can understand how you feel, but I can guarantee you that what you see differs from what others see. We are our own worst critics, and you are BEAUTIFUL just the way you are! I also have PCOS, but I’m native American and that helps cancel out hair growth. However I’m 47 years old, my beautiful hair has thinned to barely anything, is now baby fine instead of coarse, and basically stopped growing while simultaneously falls out by the handfuls. I’d so much rather be in your position, honestly, and I hope that this helps you accept and love yourself even with, “flaws”. ❤️
She is beautiful. I love hairy women. There is so much femininity to it that main stream culture will never understand. I feel bad she has to endure the stigma that goes with facial hair. To me, that could be the toughest thing. She should do a Virginia Slim commercial. Really
You are very brave to open up about your condition. I hate that you have painful symptoms to go along with your diagnosis. But I agree with everyone else, you are very beautiful. You own it, and I can see your confidence shine through. Best of luck in everything you do in life. 🥰
She is brave as I won’t be able to do this and also you go girl you are beautiful inside and out
I suffer from excessive hair too. Very embarrassing but I have been married goin on 43 years. Let them make fun I don’t pay any attention
