Francia Raisa is making a revelation about her health. The 35-year-old actress shared that she has Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in a new social media post.

Raisa dropped the news on her Instagram Story on Monday while praising the book by Candice Craig. «My friend wrote a book about PCOS,» she shared, posting a video of the pals posing together for photos from a book launch celebration.

In a second post, she added, «I also have PCOS and still learning how to live with it.»While the star did not share specific details about her condition, Johns Hopkins Medicine calls PCOS a «common hormone problem for women of childbearing age» that can cause «missed or irregular menstrual periods, excess hair growth, acne, infertility and weight gain.» Raisa is sharing her diagnosis just a few weeks after celebrating her 35th birthday.

Also on her Instagram Story, she happily posted a fun pic posing with a paper birthday cake on her head as her festivities continued. «Had a delicious dinner to celebrate the day I was born,» she wrote. «Yes my birthday was almost two weeks ago but if people want to celebrate me I'm not going to argue.» Selena Gomez was among those who recently offered up loving tributes to Raisa on her birthday.
