    TLDR Women with PCOS have distinct clinical and hormonal differences, requiring thorough evaluation for proper diagnosis and management.
    This study investigated the clinical, hormonal, and gynecological parameters in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) compared to healthy controls. Conducted with 104 women (52 with PCOS and 52 controls), the research found that women with PCOS had a higher body mass index and more frequent occurrences of oligomenorrhea, amenorrhea, hirsutism, acne, and androgenic alopecia. Hormonal analysis showed elevated luteinizing hormone and estradiol levels, with a higher LH:FSH ratio, while follicle-stimulating hormone was lower. Ultrasound results indicated larger ovarian volumes and increased follicle counts, with polycystic ovarian morphology present in 73.1% of affected women. The study concludes that these distinct clinical, hormonal, and ultrasonographic differences can enhance diagnostic precision and support comprehensive assessment in routine gynecological practice.

      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.
