Hi I am a fellow PCOSer I am 5'8 and 128lbs not your "typical" PCOS gal,I found out I had PCOS in approx 07 when I was having lots of ultrasounds and blood work for the IVF I was doing for a friend.My question now is what can I do for thinning hair and break outs, it seems to be happening all the sudden I broke out so bad it was like I had a bad case of teenage acne or something...embarrassing .My hair is also thinning bad I had highlights and low lights put in to make my hair look thicker,I have never had a problem like this before in fact it was always the opposite super thick hair and no acne to speak of.I know when I go to the doctor he will just say that because i'm not overweight I don't need to treat it,my RE did diagnose me with it but now I'm wondering if I will need the paper work in order to get treated.What exactly do they treat PCOS with ?.Thanks for all your help

PCOS can be treated with medication, with lifestyle changes, or with a combination of both.

If your doctor says that you don't need to treat your PCOS because you're not overweight, then maybe you should see another doctor. Even thin women with PCOS can have insulin resistance, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and other issues that should not be ignored. Treating your PCOS should also help with your hair loss and your acne.

Good luck!
