I was diagnosed w/ PCOS 7 years ago, but had symptoms since 15. I am now 25. With a lot of exercise, complete change in diet, metformin & spironolactone, I could lose 25 lbs+. Acne was really bad & I more recently managed to control it w/ a higher dose of Spiro (200mg) & RetinA. However, the hair loss I suffered on the top of my head for 7+ years is very bad, and embarrassing. What do you recommend for my head to look normal again? IDK if it will ever regrow, so I'm open to surgery, transplants.
