    TLDR PCOS affects quality of life most in infertility, and treatments vary by weight.
    The study assessed the health-related quality of life in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) using the Chinese PCOS Questionnaire (chi-PCOSQ) Likert scale. It found that the most significant quality of life impairment was in the infertility domain, followed by menstrual irregularity, acne, and hair loss. The study also noted that spontaneous abortions were more frequent in PCOS patients with a BMI above normal. Treatment with metformin was effective for overweight and obese patients, while clomiphene citrate and inositol were more effective for non-obese and underweight patients.

      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.

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.
