Thinner Shorter Strands, Where Do I Start?

[Sammz]

Hello,

Following on from my previous (ferratin) thread, I would like advice on where to start.

If iron is not a contributing factor, what would you recommend?

-My strands are thinner/ finer and the length is shorter.
- This has been happening for 12 years
- I was diagnosed with PCOS approx 13 years ago

Where shall I start in terms of trying to find the cause and treatment?
Thanks

You need a Dr to treat you with medication if you have PCOS

You need a really good endocrinologist.

Check out a site for PCOS http://www.soulcysters.net

they talk about PCOS related hair loss and treatments.

I'm not sure if PCOS would also cause miniaturization and short cycling. Maybe it's a combo of PCOS and Androgenetic Alopecia.

Correct. You are not sure.
Why she should see a specialist and go on Soulcysters where more likely they do know and do have experience.
