Can pcos cause sudden diffuse hair fall?

Hair fall: Highly unlikely to be related to PCOS. Make an appointment to see a Dermatologist.

Not sudden: PCOS can definitely be linked to hair loss but it is usually chronic and slow. If you had sudden hair loss then it could be from something else. A dermatologist is probably the best doctor to see for this. Have your thyroid checked too
