Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder that affects millions of women worldwide. One of its most distressing symptoms is hair loss, which can lead to thinning hair, bald patches, and reduced self-confidence. While conventional treatments provide temporary relief, homeopathy offers a natural and long-term solution to managing PCOS-related hair loss effectively.
How Does PCOS Cause Hair Loss?
PCOS leads to hormonal imbalances, including increased levels of testosterone (male hormones). This excess testosterone is converted into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which shrinks hair follicles, causing hair thinning, shedding, and patterned baldness. Women with PCOS may experience:
- Hair loss at the crown and temples
- Excessive hair shedding
- Brittle and thinning hair strands
- Slower hair regrowth
Symptoms of PCOS-Related Hair Loss
- Gradual thinning of hair along the scalp
- Excessive hair fall in showers or while combing
- Widening of the part line and decreased hair volume
- Oily scalp and dandruff due to hormonal imbalances
Is PCOS Hair Loss Reversible?
The good news is that PCOS hair loss can be managed and even reversed with the right treatment approach. Effective hair regrowth depends on:
- Balancing hormone levels
- Reducing DHT production
- Strengthening hair follicles
- Adopting a holistic treatment approach like homeopathy
