As the world observes World PCOS Day on September 1, a new study has found that 90 per cent of women aged 18-36 with PCOS are susceptible to hair loss.
The study conducted by QR678, a hair science company, has unveiled the study `Uncovering the hidden link: PCOS` that highlights the significant impact of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) on hair health with hair thinning and loss. Conducted from 2020 to 2024, it involved 150,000 patients treated with the QR678 treatment, revealed that 28 per cent of women with female pattern hair loss (FPHL) only discovered they had PCOS after starting treatment for their hair thinning or loss. So, hair loss can actually be the first indicator of a woman suffering from PCOS.
PCOS is a complex endocrine disorder that affects millions of women worldwide, with symptoms such as irregular menstrual cycles, weight gain, acne, and, most distressingly for many, hair thinning and loss. There may be one or more of these symptoms in a patient. The report sheds light on the often-overlooked connection between PCOS and hair health, prompting a call for greater awareness and earlier diagnosis
