HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
PCOS is not commonly associated with hair loss so you may need to consider other possible causes.
Hair loss can occur as a result of genetics, side effect of medication, thyroid disease, anemia, severe illnesses, immune disease, infection of the scalp
Your doctor can take a look at the scalp and hair to see if a specific cause can be identified.
There are medications that can help.
It would be best to see a dermatologist for assistance.
I hope this helps
