PCOS, high testosterone and hair loss (Photo)

care15Oct 22, 2016
I have PCOS and I have extreme eyelash loss, and some eyebrow and hair loss. My question is, can high testosterone effect eyelash growth? I am seeing regrowth on my head and brows but not my lashes.

Hair loss is genetic. the amount of masturbation does not affect your hair loss. since you are young, you should have a consultation with a hair transplant surgeon who can review your scalp, and discuss your nonsurgical options so that you can slow the progression of hair loss.

No, it doesn't look like AA but I would need to see your scalp up close to confirm.Yes, one can have AA and FPHL.

Just make sure along with the laser cap you are using topical prescription medications to synergize the results. Some patients use oral medications as well. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.
