Teen Mom OG Revelation: Maci And Her Producer Suffer From The Same Medical Condition

Maci has been open about her polycystic ovary syndrome in the past -- and throughout this week's Teen Mom OG episode, the mother of three got brutally sincere about the hormonal disorder.


"The hard part about it is the anxiety and irritability that comes and also it," Maci confided to her companions. Some days I'm like, 'If I did not have PCOS, I wouldn't have been so irritable with my children today.' I think a lot more girls have PCOS, and so they don't know they have it."


Turns out, her MTV producer suffers from the same medical condition, and the two girls bonded over their respective battles.


"I don't have kids, so I have the alternative if I'm not at work, I can literally lay on my couch and cry," Jenni admitted. "You've got three kids that you should take care of, so you can't do that."


While Maci admitted that "it sucks," she stated that the possible solutions -- like taking medicine day-to-day which causes side effects or surgery -- were not options at this time.


"I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing," Maci said.
