Why is Sasha Pieterse gaining weight?

"Dancing With the Stars" contestant Sasha Pieterse has been struggling with a health problem for the past two years, she revealed last night on the ABC show.

The former "Pretty Little Liars" actress said that she suffers from polycystic ovary syndrome, or PCOS -- a hormonal disorder that caused her to gain 70 pounds.

In an interview with ABC News after the show, Pieterse said that actually receiving the diagnosis was "amazing," because she had no idea why her body was changing the way it was.

"It was a difficult process for me because I didn't know how to fix it. There was nothing that I could [do to] help myself," she explained. "I just really want to bring awareness for that too because there are so many women that have that who have no idea." Read more at ABC News.
