Hair loss 😭

[Jayc2e]

Hi!

I was diagnosed with PCOS three years ago and only recently I’ve been experiencing major hair loss. The top of my scalp is balding, it’s super irritated and I’m losing A LOT of hair.

Anyone got any advice or tips on how to prevent this and share their experiences? I’m freaking out and don’t want it to get worse

Diets, supplements, vitamins- il try anything.

Thanks!

The combined pill can help, I also found that cutting my hair short made it look thicker as well - I found it quite depressing when the plug hole kept filling up in the shower, but I dont notice it so much now. I think the hair loss is one of the worst symptoms of pcos as it is very difficult to disguise.

Try to control your testosterone levels. I am having the same symptoms. Acne and hairfall. I started a low carb and high protein diet, omega 3 supplements and using hair oil to control the hairfall(started recently so don’t know whether it will work). I am also taking spearmint tea twice and flaxseed 2 tbsp in a day. There is also a medicine for it but i have heard that when u stop, the symptoms starts again and the side effects of this medications are really bad. This is what i read about it “Spironolactone is the drug often prescribed for PCOS hair loss. It fits into this receptor site (like a key) and stops testosterone getting in there. However, whilst doing this it also causes a lot of damage. It disrupts ovulation, estrogen metabolism, and adrenal function, so it’s most likely causing more harm than good. I will go into more detail on Spiro in future posts. For now, remember that Spiro is the (not particularly effective) quick fix that may be doing you more harm than good.”

Hope it helps.

Today i went to see the pharmacist, he told me to google about plantur 39 shampoo before buting it. He said its worth giving a try.

Just bought the kit from plantur and I saw a difference in how my hair looked and texture. Looks much healthier and thicker ! Definitely give it a try !

I had the same issue. But now i get back my hair to some extent. I was facing this problem from two years then i visited doctor and had a PRP hair loss treatment. I took 3 sessions of it and its result are better. Now i face no more hair loss issues.
