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.

Answer: PRP and LLLLT are good options for hair loss secondary to PCOS Platelet rich plasma (PRP) and Low Level Lasers are good treatment options - considering that you have already been on antiandrogens as well. These may be combined with peptides which help in prolonging the anagen (growth ) phase. Good luck!

Answer: Hair loss from PCOS - options In general, options for women with PCOS include:1. minoxidil 2. spironolactone3. low level laser therapy4. platelet rich plasma5. hair transplantation. You are a candidate for hair transplantation (in the mid-scalp area) based on the photos uploaded, so you may want to learn more about this option and visit several surgeons. Preventing further loss is important - so minoxidil, low level laser and PRP are important to learn about. Spironolactone must never be used during pregnancy. It causes irregular periods in 80 % of women. If periods are irregular, women in PCOS should consider an oral contraceptive to help regulate the periods. This may reduce the risk of some types of cancers. Speak to an endocrinologist, gynaecologist or dermatologist who specialists in PCOS should periods be irregular.
