    TLDR More than half of the young women checked had PCOS, which was linked to inactive lifestyles and poor diets.
    Three years ago, a prospective cross-sectional study was conducted on 180 unmarried females aged 16 to 24 years who were attending a gynecology and dermatology outpatient clinic due to menstrual abnormalities or symptoms of hyperandrogenism. The study aimed to estimate the prevalence rate of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) from May to November 2018. The study found that the prevalence rate of PCOS was 55.6% among all presented cases, with oligomenorrhea, acne, and hirsutism being the most common complaints. The study also found an association between PCOS and a sedentary lifestyle, as well as unhealthy food habits. There were significant differences in LH and prolactin levels, as well as ovarian volume, between PCOS and non-PCOS cases. The study concluded that lifestyle modifications such as healthy food and exercise play an important role in the prevention of PCOS.

      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.
