Hair Loss, Hirsutism, Oily Scalp, Dandruff. History Of Having PCOs, Irregular Periods. On Metformin And Spironolactone. Solution?
hi, I am 23 years old. my height is 165 cm and my weight is 54. I have suffered from hair loss and Hirsutism ( thick hair on my breast and few thick one on my face). I used to get irregular menstruation, but, today, it is not as irregular as before. In my country, I were diagnosed with PCOS. my sonography does not show Polycystic Ovary. Also, I have oily scalp and I have suffered from dandruff since I reached puberty. I am so worried about my hair loss. the level of vitamin D is 10.7. what can I do to stop hair lossing? what causes it? Also, I eat 1 metformin and 2 spironolactone 25 tablets in a day. Thanks

Hello.the symptoms you have mentioned can also be present in thyroid disorders hence rule out by doing thyroid profile.sometimes pcos causes hormonal changes which is the reason for hair oil.oily scalp and dandruff can point to diagnosis of seborrhic dermatitis.use sebowash shampoo.oral antifungal and iron and biotin supplementation and a good hair oil whicf contains high content of biotin like hair grow gel
