I Was Diagnosed With PCOS When I Was 33. I Am Now Over 40. I Am On Metformin And It Has Worked For Me But Still Suffer From Hair Loss
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

As a result of PCOS i am loosing my hair and my hairs are getting fine. I am taking Metformin and it has resolved my problem with periods which is normal. I am suffering from hair loss for several years and I am not sure what can help this. It is now got so fine that my confidence is getting impacted. Anyone has experience of hair loss and is there any help ?

I cut all of my hair off and started over. My hair has grown back a lot thicker however right at the top in the front its a little thin. Im going to change my diet (preparing for it now) at some biotin, pray and see what happens!

I went through the same some years ago but it was my thyroid. They had to adjust my meds and it went away. I'd talk to your Endo doc if you have one.
