    TLDR Women with PCOS have distinct clinical and hormonal differences, requiring thorough evaluation for proper diagnosis and management.
    This study on polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) involved 104 women, half of whom had PCOS, and highlighted significant differences in clinical, hormonal, and ultrasonographic parameters compared to healthy controls. Women with PCOS had higher body mass index, more frequent menstrual irregularities, hirsutism, acne, and androgenic alopecia. Hormonal analysis showed elevated luteinizing hormone and estradiol levels, with a higher LH:FSH ratio, while testosterone and thyroid-stimulating hormone levels were similar between groups. Ultrasound findings indicated larger ovarian volumes and increased follicle counts, with polycystic ovarian morphology in 73.1% of affected women. These findings underscore the importance of a comprehensive evaluation for accurate diagnosis and management of PCOS.

      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.

      A 30-year-old female with PCOS and male pattern baldness is frustrated with her endocrinologist's recommendation of only Spironolactone and minoxidil, feeling that dutasteride, finasteride, and progesterone would be more effective. Other users suggest various online sources for treatments, warn against self-medicating due to potential risks, and recommend seeking a specialized endocrinologist or considering additional treatments like Inositol, Berberine, and dermaneedling.
