My hair is thinning!!! I am 21 I cannot deal with this. I went off spiro I didnt know that it was stopping my hair from thinning since before I went on it my hair wasnt thinning! What do I do? My hair is naturally thin so now it looks really bad! I went back on the spiro now but I HATE thinking that I am going to have to rely on it forever so that I have normal hair. I am so upset right now, I never knew my pcos was getting worse until right now.

Has your Endocrinologist checked your Testosterone levels? My hair loss was caused by elevated Testosterone. I took 200mgs of Spironolactone for three years, I continued to lose hair. It lowered my Testosterone some. It didn't work on the DHT part.
I now take Flutamide. It stopped my hair loss. I have experienced hair loss for 20+ years. It would go in cycles. Just when I would think that it had stopped it would start up again. It was my most difficult PCOS symptom to deal with. Good luck. I hope that you find something that works for you. HTH

My hair has been thinning for years, but no bald spots have appeared. When I went on a lower carb diet my hair stopped thinning and it was the first I really believed that it had been thinning before. I think I was in major denial before that. I wasn't getting gobs of hair out of my brush each day anymore. Recently I have noticed I'm loosing more hair, but not like I was before. I have very little to put in a ponytail now and it's not seeming to get thicker. I had my hormones checked and my testoserone results were fine, but I believe I have elevated testosterone (acne, thinning hair, mood swings, hair growth in the wrong places, etc.)

I'm 20 years old with polycystic ovary syndrome. You probably understand how insecurity is risen being our age with this. I hate the fact that it may be a forever thing as well. I'm on Spiro too and I'm hoping that it will take my excessive hair growth and acne away. Before I took Levothyroxine (Synthroid) my hair would fall out, but since I've been taking it, it hasn't. Have you had any results from the Spiro concerning hair growth and acne? | |
