    TLDR PCOS is a complex condition that affects women's hormonal balance and metabolism, requiring lifestyle changes and medical management.
    Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex condition affecting women's metabolic and endocrine systems, leading to symptoms such as irregular menstruation, hirsutism, infertility, and increased cardiovascular risk. It is associated with insulin resistance and elevated testosterone levels. PCOS diagnosis can occur without ovarian cysts and involves various criteria, including the Rotterdam and NIH criteria. Management includes lifestyle changes, medical treatments for metabolic issues, and surgical options to improve ovulation. The prevalence of PCOS ranges from 2.2% to 26%, depending on the diagnostic criteria. Women with PCOS should be screened for glucose intolerance and type 2 diabetes, particularly if they have additional risk factors. Regular follow-up is crucial for managing long-term complications.

      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.

      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.
