Survey aims to raise awareness of the hidden cost of hormonal health

A hormonal health brand is running a survey to raise awareness of  ‘The Hidden Cost of Hormonal Health’. 

Millions of women struggle with hormonal health conditions, yet too many are left undiagnosed, unheard and unsupported.

MyOva aims to uncover the real cost of living with hormonal health conditions in the UK – financial and emotional.

For many, a diagnosis is only the beginning of the journey.

Women are then left paying for private healthcare, medications and supplements, alternative therapies, time off work, relationships etc. Women are too often left to figure this out alone.

MyOva’s survey aims to raise awareness about the hidden cost of hormonal health conditions, gather real-life data to advocate for better healthcare, and empower more women with knowledge and support.

Leila Martyn is MyOva Founder and a woman who has experienced her own journey with PCOS and multiple miscarriages.

She said: “The hidden cost of hormonal health conditions goes far beyond medical bills- it’s the sick days we push through, the social events we cancel, the confidence we lose, and the sheer mental load of constantly having to advocate for ourselves.

“Too many women are expected to put up with this- to carry on, despite not feeling heard, supported or even taken seriously.

“At MyOva, we hear these stories every day. This survey is about giving women the space to be honest, to be seen, and to finally have their experiences counted.

“Because without real data, the true impact remains invisible – and that needs to change.”

Findings from the survey will highlight areas like how long it took to get a diagnosis for a specific hormonal health condition, the financial cost of diagnosis and treatment, challenges of infertility and miscarriage, effects on relationships and work, and much more.
