Why do you have hirsutism and hair loss with PCOS?


Women with PCOS often experience hair loss and hirsutism due to elevated androgen ("huntress hormone") levels, such as testosterone and DHT. These hormones can shrink hair follicles on the scalp, causing thinning, while stimulating excess hair growth in areas like the face and body.
