    TLDR Micronutrient supplements significantly improved PCOS symptoms in women.
    The study evaluated the effectiveness of nutrition intervention on reducing the symptoms of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) among 93 women, with an average age of 29.31±7.1. The participants were divided into three groups: one received a 30g nutritional supplement daily for three months, the second received nutrition education alone for three months, and the control group received allopathic medication. The results showed that the nutrition intervention led to a significant reduction in weight, BMI, body fat, waist and hip circumference, total cholesterol levels, cholesterol to HDL ratio, and total testosterone levels (p<0.001). The mean change in testosterone showed a significant difference between the intervention and education group, and between the intervention and control group. The differences in total cholesterol, cholesterol to HDL ratio, waist circumference, and hip circumference also indicated significant differences between the intervention and control group, but not between the intervention and education group.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

      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.
