PCOS hair loss. What is the likelihood of reversing hair loss/miniaturization if right steps are taken?

Asked By:chanpen88 in Ontario, CA

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.
