Return of rheumatoid arthritis

Sambhavna informed that her rheumatoid arthritis is back. She said all these problems have started after her IVF treatment. The actress shared that her hands and feet feel stiff, and begin to pain or swell if she sits in the cold for long. She has now been given medication for a month. Sambhavna broke down talking about the fight that she puts up on a daily basis and the medication she has been having for IVF and other problems. She blamed herself for making her husband Avinash suffer because of her problems. She said, "Sometimes I get very frustrated like what is happening with me. Ek cheez nikalti hai, doosri cheez aa jati hai, doosri cheez theek nahi hoti, teesri cheez aa jati hai. I feel bad for Avinash. He has to suffer so much." (Photo: Sambhavna Seth's YouTube)

Consulting different doctors for coordinated treatment

Sambhavna said that it's difficult to fight these medical problems despite trying to remain positive and she feels helpless. She added that she is now consulting her gynaecologist to see if the medicines she has been having can be taken with the new ones. She also cried talking about the weight she has put on due to the heavy medication. (Photo: Instagram)

Increase in weight due to medication

In another YT video, Sambhavna talked about people trolling her for her excess weight. She slammed them for saying mean things to her and revealed that it was because of the fourth failure of her IVF that she put on weight. Even Avinash came to her defence and said the medical procedures aren't easy and lead to hormonal imbalance in the body. (Photo: Instagram)

Going through painful medical procedure

Avinash and Sambhavna have been very open about their troubles and shared that they have taken on the difficult path for a baby. Avinash said, "We have faced the journey together. It is difficult emotionally and physically. I want people to respect us. It is the most difficult thing to go through for a couple, especially the wife." (Photo: Instagram)

Dealing with PCOS

The actress also has been dealing with PCOS for a long time and it got detected 10 to 12 years ago. She said that it became manageable before marriage. However, it was a rough patch and led to several problems. (Photo: Instagram)

Psychological impact

In several of her videos, Sambhavna has opened up about the physical and emotional stress that one goes through during the IVF treatment and failed cycles. She said not many in the industry have spoken about the painful and emotionally draining process it is. She also added that she suffers from mood swings and irritation but is determined to give it her best shot. (Photo: Instagram)

8/8

Dealing with body shaming and trolls

Sambhavna spoke about taking the risk of discussing IVF, which no one else in their industry does. She also listed the online accusations she regularly faces, such as not caring about having a child, being fat, and being older than her husband. She also revealed that she has tried the IVF method for 4 times and has failed at it. Even her husband Avinash defended her by sharing how difficult it has been for them due to IVF, and that she has gained weight.
