"The ovaries may develop numerous small collections of fluid (follicles) and fail to regularly release eggs," it added.

To cope, The 26-year-old singer-songwriter is currently on a "special diet."

"I also learned recently that factor po siya kung bakit ako may depression, kung bakit ako may anxiety. Kasi nag-a-add up po talaga siya. That’s why I think women with polycystic ovaries need awareness," she said about her condition.

She related that she and her husband Jason Marvin Hernandez, are already planning to have a baby next year.

"So I'm working on it now," she assured.

"Marami naman pong may PCOS na nabubuntis, 'yung iba walang complications, 'yung iba mabilis magkaroon ng diabetes. Iba-iba po. Now, I'm currently learning to listen to my body so that I can give it what it needs."
