The South African-born Pretty Little Liars alum, Sasha Pieterse, 29, has surfaced to talk about a decade of strange symptoms that had doctors turning her away, telling her she ate too much.

Then, finally, she was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), an ailment that affects the female reproductive system and occurs in one out of ten women.
