I have PCOS and my hair has begun to thin?

its not falling out but it is in the beginning statges of male pattern baldness, does birth controll help this or can you recommend a type of birth controll to either stop the thinning process or reverse it? OR would birth controll even work at all for this problem?

I also have PCOS and do not have this problem. This could be something handed down from your family.

I have PCOS too. Sorry...but thinking the pill can solve your problems is like thinking a submarine in a swimming pool is subtle!

Thinning of the hair is a symptom of low thyroid but most MDs won't help you out...so be careful. I had THREE 'normal' blood tests and I knew something was wrong. 2.5 years later and finally doctor number 14 said my hormones were flatlined...body wasn't even making them. So TRUST your gut. I take armour thyroid and it's been good.

Here are some other things related to low thyroid/losing hair you may want to read about...

I take Iodoral (iodine) cause most of us are way low in it...this is actually what allowed me to decrease the thyroid hormone. I can buy if for HALF the price at this site than what my doc charges... plus it helps a charity...please read all about it first. There are a few other supps you will need to take to help everything work right...Vit. C, selenium..etc...and it also dissolves/prevents breast cancer and ovarian cysts. Yes, there are studies for those who question this. And people who hae plenty of iodine don't sunburn!! Plus there is research that says it can cure PCOS. http://www.breastcancerchoices.org/iodin...

And to read/learn about taking iodine... go here: They help everyone and you can learn about all the other benefits of iodine....http://curezone.com/forums/f.asp?f=815.....

I also have stopped cooking with canola oil and using margarine because they MESS with our hormones!! I have replaced with olive oil and virgin coconut oil....read here how it's helped people with their thyroid issues. http://www.coconutdiet.com/thyroid_healt...

Good luck...run from the pill. We already have messed up hormones and to take the FAKE synthetic ones in BCPs just isn't safe or bright...by my doctors account.
