PCOS, high testosterone and hair loss (Photo)

October 22, 2016
Asked By:care15 in Dallas, TX

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.

I'm a 19 year old male with a pretty badly receded hairline. Did excessive masturbation cause my hair to thin so early?
Rae Lynne Kinler, MD says:

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.
