Why Bea Alonzo gained some significant amount of weight?
BEA ALONZO – The former Kapamilya actress-turned-Kapuso star disclosed the reason behind her weight gain.
In her latest vlog posted via her official YouTube channel, Bea shared the backstory of some of her Instagram photos, including a picture of herself, her boyfriend Dominic Roque, and his friends playing tennis. She mentioned that she made a New Year’s resolution to take up a new hobby and started playing tennis with Dominic.
She expressed her desire to play doubles with him, but it’s been challenging due to her weight gain caused by her hypothyroidism, which she revealed alongside her PCOS diagnosis. “Aside from having PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrom), I recently was also diagnosed with having hypothyroidism so that’s the reason behind my gaining weight,” she said.
Despite this, Bea assured her viewers that she’s working on addressing her hypothyroidism by exercising, following a diet, taking medication, and supplements.
Meanwhile, PCOS stands for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, which is a hormonal disorder that affects women of reproductive age. It is characterized by irregular menstrual cycles, excess androgen production, and cysts on the ovaries. Women with PCOS may also experience acne, weight gain, and difficulty getting pregnant.
Hypothyroidism, on the other hand, is a condition in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. This can slow down the body’s metabolism and cause symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, and dry skin. Hypothyroidism is typically treated with medication to replace the missing thyroid hormone.
