Having PCOS makes my hair fall out.

One of the many horrible symptoms of PCOS is thinning hair that falls out TONS. I have very thick hair, but it is so much thinner since my PCOS has gotten worse. The best treatment for your hair is to treat the PCOS. Unfortunatly, it is one of the hardest symptoms to control, even with proper treatment of the PCOS. Here's some info I posted about PCOS:
The underlying cause of PCOS is insulin resistance (IR). The best treatment for PCOS is going on an insulin sensitizing drug such as metformin (1500-2550mg per day) combined with a low carb diet and exercise. There are a few important things to know:
1. Many women "pass" the test for IR, but still respond positively from the metformin. No one knows exactlly why..my thought is that the test is not a sure fire way of detecting the IR.
2. You must be on a high enough dose of metformin. I've heard women complain that their bodies dont start working even though they've been on metformin for awhile. Some doctors are hesitant to up the dose past 1500mg...but for some of us it takes more. I don't respond until my dose is around 2000mg a day.
3. It can take a few months on the correct dose, before your body starts to respond.
4. It is important to treat your PCOS even if you are not trying to get pregnant (although many women dont bother). There are higher risks for many things (high blood pressure, blood clots, diabetes, and many other things) when you have PCOS, but if it is treated properly, then those risks go back to a normal rate.
I recommend seeing a reproductive endocrinologist. They are the most knowledgeable about PCOS. I also highly recommend visiting http://messageboards.ivillage.com/iv-bhp... It is a great message board, where you can ask all your PCOS questions. There are other drugs out specific to helping with the hair issue, and the women on this board might know a little more about those drugs. The women there are great. Good luck.

Stimulating the hair follicles are the best way to get hair regrowth. So you need to hang your head over the bed or in a downward motion and rub your scalp.(not hard as to break any hair strands but gently to get the blood flowing to the scalp) Do this each day for ten minutes. You'll see improvement in a month or two. Remember hair grows at a rate of one half inch per month on the average. I'm surprised your doctor hasn't told you to do this. Good Luck!!
