Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Hair fall is very common in persons with PCOD. I would recommend her to apply Minoxidil 2 percent lotion on the affected areas of the scalp twice daily and take hair supplement tablets like tablet Follihair A once daily.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
