    TLDR Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a major health issue for women in Egypt, affecting 14% of fertile women and 37.5% of infertile women.
    In 2013, a study involving 1450 women in El-Minia, Egypt, was conducted to estimate the prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in fertile and infertile women. The women were divided into two groups: 620 fertile women who had given birth more than 2 years prior, and 830 women with primary or secondary infertility. The study found that the prevalence of PCOS was 14% (87 out of 620) in the fertile group and 37.5% (311 out of 830) in the infertile group. The study concluded that PCOS was a significant health and reproductive issue for women of reproductive age in Egypt.

      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.
