My daughter's hair is thinning around the sides and a little at front of forehead. She has started the low GI diet and coming of her pill, as it has a high percentage of male hormone , if things don't improve within 3 month's she will see the endocrinology doctor who has another medication

I'm sorry I can't remember the name of the tablet, yes it is hormone based. 3 years ago she developed 3 very large ovarian cysts,7-10cm. She was put on the pill and now the other symptoms are starting. She was seen by a doctor in the UK who says she has PCOS but the Endocrinologist in France says the follicle of the cyst is not the same type as seen with PCOS. Now she is changing her diet to a low GI diet and hopefully can help reset her hormonal system
