    TLDR 150 kHz electromagnetic radiation might help improve PCOS in rats.
    The study with 21 female Sprague Dawley rats aimed to assess the impact of 150 kHz electromagnetic radiation (EMR) on polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) induced by estradiol valerate (EV). The rats were divided into three groups: control, EV, and EV + EMR, with the latter exposed to EMR for eight weeks. The findings indicated that EMR exposure led to improved ovarian morphology, an increase in developing follicles, and a significant reduction in the number and size of follicular cysts, without significant changes in body and ovary weights or testosterone and FSH levels. However, there was a significant decrease in LH and LH/FSH ratio in the EV + EMR group compared to the EV group. The study suggests that 150 kHz EMR might have a therapeutic effect on PCOS, but calls for more research to fully understand its impact on the condition.

      A 29-year-old woman is experiencing gradual hair thinning since age 15, suspects Androgenic Alopecia, and has tried 5% minoxidil with little success. She has purchased various hair loss treatments including minoxidil, dutasteride, finasteride, and spironolactone, but is cautious about starting them due to potential interactions with her ADHD medication.

      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.
