I'm a 27 year-old women suffering from androgenic alopecia. It's not totally noticeable yet, so I'm assuming I'm fairly early in my hair loss journey. If I take the right steps, (such as minoxidil, spironolactone, birth control - none of which I am currently on), do I have a fighting chance of reversing hair loss and miniaturization. Realistically, what is the likelihood of solving this? I do understand it's different for every woman.

Answer: PCOS and patterned hair loss.Englewood Cliffs NJ In my opinion, women with hyperandrogenemia can develop a pattern hair loss. Women with marked Androgen excess can develop a male pattern alopecia with bitemporal recession and thinning. You need to be under the care of a hair expert who will follow your sex hormone-binding globulin. The lower the sex hormone-binding globulin, the higher the bioavailability of androgens. In addition to the minoxidil, spironolactone, and birth control pills I would recommend spearmint tea and platelet rich plasma. We have had encouraging results in women with PCOS using platelet rich plasma.. find an expert in platelet rich plasma and hair loss. I believe your PCOS can be managed effectively. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Answer: POCS Is a hormonal condition that produces male like hair loss in women POCS also produces miniaturization in various parts of the scalp. With increasing androgen influences on the hair, these hormones trigger genetic hair loss as it would in men. Most women I have seen has had difficulty reversing these effects. The drug finasteride may work as it does in men. If you develop thinning that bothers you, the best treatment for this is scalp micropigmentation (see below). Two female members of my family have had it done for thinning and their results were outstanding.
