PCOS AND HAIR LOSS

[Ailsa72]

Just out of curiosity, is there anyone in the community who has suffered from hair loss as opposed to hair gain? Would live to hear from you.

Hey, been diagnosed with PCOS since 13 I'm 21 now. I have excessive hair growth on body and face but from 2014-16 had major hair loss and thinning on head

Thank you for sharing. I'm 44 and lost most of my hair at 24. At the time the hair specialist said that it would cause hair gain, not hair loss. Over the years I've learned differently. Started with just odd patches of alopecia, coming and going. Then progressed to what he said was male pattern baldness. I just wondered how common it is.

I don't know whether this will help but my wife suffered about 25% hair loss and was recommended a homoeopathic remedy which was to take tablets of brewers yeast and of the plant horse tail (equisetum arvense) three times a day. Her hair was practically restored in six months and she has had no problem since then.
