Summary
- Shruti Haasan discussed embracing motherhood through adoption.
- She shared past medical advice about PCOS and conception difficulties.
- Haasan also spoke about managing painful periods with new treatment.
Actress Shruti Haasan recently shared candid thoughts on her journey towards motherhood, including a potential adoption. During a podcast appearance, she revealed that she had received medical advice from age 14 suggesting that conceiving with PCOS might be difficult. This led to fears about her "biological clock" and fertility.
However, Haasan found a supportive gynecologist who discussed various options, including egg freezing and adoption. The actor expressed a strong desire to be a mother and is open to adopting a child with a future partner. She also mentioned wanting to explore biological conception as an extension of herself.
In addition to fertility discussions, Haasan also spoke about her experiences with extremely painful periods. She described monthly hospital visits for cramps and IV fluids. Thankfully, a new oral contraceptive prescribed in 2020 has significantly reduced her pain by 60%.
Soha Ali Khan, the podcast host, also shared a similar past conversation with a doctor about egg freezing at age 35, but was told it was too late.
