    TLDR Ayurvedic treatment helped reduce PCOS symptoms in a 19-year-old girl.
    The document presents a case study of a 19-year-old girl with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), a complex endocrine disorder characterized by symptoms such as irregular menstruation, weight gain, and hair loss. The study highlights the Ayurvedic approach to managing PCOS, which considers it a disorder of the three Doshas and involves the Rasa, Rakta, and Medas Dhatus, as well as the Rasa, Rakta, and Arthava vaha Srothas. The treatment principles used were Aamapachana (digestive correction), Vata anulomana (normalizing the flow of Vata), Kaphapittahara (balancing Kapha and Pitta), and Arthava janana (promoting menstruation). After two months of internal Ayurvedic medications, the patient's symptoms were markedly reduced, and her menstruation normalized, suggesting that adherence to Ayurvedic principles can be beneficial in managing PCOS.

      in Research/Science  41 upvotes 2 weeks ago
      High sugar diets may worsen hair loss by increasing 5α-reductase activity and androgen levels, especially in women with PCOS. A low sugar diet might reduce scalp DHT levels, similar to finasteride, but genetics also significantly influence hair loss.

      How little the average person knows about hair loss and how it can be an unfairly stigmatized issue, even by people with little knowledge of it themselves. Some specific treatments that were discussed include finasteride, RU58841, dutasteride, minoxidil, pyritinol, dermarolling, and diet/lifestyle changes.
