#PCOS hair loss

[red-white-black]

In my life, I have never been a pretty girl.

My body always looked weird and my skin trouble for a long time.

But there was 1 thing that I could always remember people completing my hair.

My hair is stupidily enough really important, i love my curls and about 4 years ago I really started getting into understanding and taking care of them.

About 3 years ago, I noticed that I had less hair then before, with other symptoms.

And I got diagnosed with pcos, I have been taking the pill and all, doing what my doctor told me, never really noticing an improvement of my hair but not it getting worst, during this year it got worst.

I recently saw a picture of my scalp 2 years and decided hey let's check the current status and I swear to god, it's horrible, I going bald like am old man wtf.

The top of my head has gotten to ungarnished, wtf, how come no one ever told it got this bad? How come my hairdresser never noticed ? she has been cutting my hair since I was 15 ffs.

The one thing that i genuinely loved about myself is going away.

And I really dont know how to handle it.

Ithe absurdity of the situation is that 3 hours before realizing i was going bald, I had convined my doctor to get me a recommendation for an endocrinologist. Those take over a years to get, what am i supposed to do now?

Kinda want to shave my head to I stop noticing my downfall.

I am currently have a mental break down silently in my room trying not to wake up my roomate.

I feel empty, i deeply love my hair.

I didnt want to start rogain or other because they cost soooo much money and I am broke plus they dont have permanent effect, so you have to do it everyday without fail or it will not work.

What am I supposed to do?

Idk, I can't get it prescribed right ? It's just cosmetic so the insurance wont take plus I'll off my parents insurance in less then a year and I have my adhd medication that cost already soooo much with insurance, what do i do??

Demystifying PCOD and PCOS: Spotting the Variances

PCOD (Polycystic Ovary Disease) and PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) are related conditions, but they have some differences: Definition: PCOD: Primarily refers to the presence of multiple cysts in the ovaries along with irregular menstrual cycles and elevated androgen levels.

Hair loss creates greater emotional distress and self-esteem issues in women than men, yet you'd never know it from looking at media.

We're constantly blasted with ads for Rogaine, Keeps, Hims, all these messages about how men don't need to lose their hair. Get hair plugs! Look at this former football player with a full head of hair now. It's for self-care!

Yet, there's also the same reassuring messages to men (and men only) that if they choose to go completely bald, that's okay! They'll still be manly and tough! We have so many cool guys who are bald!

And ... what about women? Yes, Rogaine and Keeps make products for women (which are the exact same formulation btw, just Pink), but when do you see advertisements for it? When do you hear people discussing female alopecia other than in a pitying "aww that's so sad" way without offering real advice?

Women's hair is more tightly regulated than men's. Healthy, thick hair is a point of pride; we're advertised all sorts of things to keep it that way, told all sorts of things about what it means to trim your hair by even an inch. Hair, whether on your head, face, or body, is a signal of how well you're performing feminity (or if you're refusing to play).

No one gives a shit if a man plucks his eyebrows; no one would even notice. If a woman plucks her eyebrows, it must mean something. No one cares if a man chooses to shave his leg hair or keeps a furry pelt; either choice is valid. Women have one choice and one only if they want to play the game.

Too much body hair? No man would want you.

No body hair? You're pandering to men.

Hair too short? No man would want you.

Hair too long? You must be high maintenance!

Hair brightly colored? Liberal snowflake freak!

Hair a natural color? Blondes are dumb sluts, everyone knows that.

Hair too thick? What are you, a cave woman?

Hair too thin? Eww, take care of yourself, what's wrong with you?

God forbid you shave it all off to help stimulate hair growth, or because you have no choice. You're either a cancer patient or crazy. The pitying "there-there" looks I've gotten since buzzing my hair are driving me to madness. No one would do that to a man.

Or it's assumed that this is some political statement, that I'm advertising an identity. No, I'm removing my damaged hair so I stop looking like a shedding animal.

It's so frustrating that women are left behind and ignored in every single way, for every single condition, whether benign or serious. Yes, hair loss isn't a huge deal in the grand scheme of things, but it's frustrating. It's depressing. It's embarrassing.

I don't want to wear a hat or a wig! I want my condition to be treated with the same respect and sympathy as it would be for men. I want the same support, the same options, the same discussions of how to live with thinning hair.

But of course that's too much to ask. I'm a silly little lady woman girl and maybe I'd feel better if I went back in the kitchen and made some sandwiches.

[cynical-things]

I wish I never went on the fucking implant ffffffjdjdjdjdnd it fucked my body up so bad and it’s still not better even tho I got that piece of shit taken out 10 months ago

[lavenderparadise]

currently 40!! lbs down & i couldn't be more proud of myself. i have always struggled with my weight, but to finally lose more than 10 lbs then put it all back on blows my mind. i am at the lowest weight i've been in over 5 years! i still have so much more to go, but i couldn't believe how much i can really tell in these pics 🥲🥹

[brokoala-soup]

hirsutism and alopecia are one of the worst things that can happen to one and PCOS gives both of it to you, at the same time :)

[yxlenas]

hey, bald bitches in this here app

If you are losing hair density on the top of your head along your hairline and it's making you feel some type of way and you want to hide it, DEEP SIDE PART that shit.

Stop giving yourself a middle part. It makes it much much more obvious that your hair is thinning.

Sincerely,

A hairless cat.

PCOS And Hair Loss

PCOS comes with a lot of symptoms, but the one I have been experiencing the most these last few months is hair loss (This picture is from this morning). This is a topic that not a lot of other folks with PCOS talk about because it’s not pretty. A few months ago, I realized that I had random chunks of hair at the top of my head that were shorter than the rest of my hair. This was pre diagnosis, so I had this silly conspiracy that some stranger was coming into my room at night and cutting my hair. The reality was somehow worse for me.  My hair is thinning, chunks are breaking off, clumps of hair swirl the drain in the shower.  Even though I’m still  struggling with this, I would like to share some tips that have helped me.  1: Sensitive Scalp Shampoo: I personally use OGX Tea Tree and Mint shampoo and conditioner. It’s gentle on my brittle hair and results in less breakage.  2: Don’t Over Wash: Wash your hair every other day or every two days. Over-washing could cause damage and even more hair loss. 3: Use A Scalp Scrubber: These scrubbers can increase blood circulation to your scalp, which in turn could help aid new growth. 4: Find A Pill That Works For You: I’m still in the process of finding a birth control pill that works for me, but I’m hopeful about the one I’m on now. The right pill can regulate your androgen hormone levels, which can help fight not only irregular periods and acne, but also hair loss.  These are all tried and true methods from yours truly, I hope this helps if this is something you deal with! <3

Do You Have to Take Steroids If You Have PCOS?

Steroid hormones for PCOD or polycystic ovarian disease may be one treatment option available to women with the condition, but only your doctor can provide you with medical guidance. Women with PCOD typically experience a disruption in hormones caused by ovarian cysts. This disruption can go on to affect insulin, mood, skin health, hair health and more. Steroid hormones for PCOD may help the body to achieve balance, but this treatment may not work for every woman diagnosed with PCOD.

How Do Steroids Help Women With PCOD?

Steroid hormones can boost the body’s natural production of hormones or replace hormones that may be limited due to PCOD. This approach to PCOD treatment may require ongoing steroid therapy, but only your doctor can provide you with expectations. For some women, treatment with steroids is only required during a flare-up of symptoms, but for others, regular treatment appointments with an endocrinologist may be required.

Other Treatment Options for PCOD

If steroids are not recommended by your doctor to treat your PCOD, other options may be available. Although there is no cure for PCOD, certain prescription and over-the-counter medications may help. Additionally, eating a balanced diet and getting plenty of regular exercise can be beneficial in alleviating the side effects of PCOD.

In general, women will want to get daily exercise and eat a diet rich in whole grains and fresh fruits and vegetables for the best results. Avoid eating sweets and processed foods or greasy, fatty foods. These can contribute to the worsening of PCOD symptoms, so limit them when possible.

If you take any over-the-counter medications, discuss these with your doctor. Additionally, you will want to talk to your doctor about any major lifestyle changes you make or plan to make. Certain healthcare conditions may be aggravated by strenuous exercise, and you may have dietary restrictions that need to be taken into account.
