A member asked:

I have a few symptoms that i think could be related to my hormones. im fatigued all the time, i have excessive facial hair for a woman and my hair is thinning on my head. my gyne did diagnose me with pcos. should i go for a hormone check?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

PCOS ?'s: PCOS is usually accompanied by excess male hormones which can cause facial hair and scalp hair loss. Low dose oral contraceptives are used to reduce sustained stimulation of your ovaries, and reduce occurrence of other conditions related to continued estrogen manufacture without ovulation caused by PCOS. See a reproductive endocrinologist as a consultant.
