A member asked:

I have been diagnosed with pcos, and i am losing hair pretty regularly. is there anything i can do to help prevent or slow this?

In view of various hormonal changes you may experience with PCOS, for best advice,I recommend consulting an endocrinologist gynecologist at a department of gynecology at a university hospital near you.
