How to Stop PCOS Hair Loss and Thinning

PCOS - also known as Polycystic ovary syndrome - is a hormonal disorder common among women of reproductive age. Women with PCOS disorder have infrequent or prolonged menstrual periods due to excess androgen levels in the body and this same imbalance triggers hair loss and thinning in some women.

 

Since it’s hard to get rid of hair loss caused due to PCOS without proper guidance, Lordhair - a global hairpiece toupee and wig brand - decided to create a quick knowledge resource on PCOS hair damage recovery.

 

PCOS Hair Loss Recovery

 

Read on to discover tips and ideas helping millions of women stop hair loss caused by PCOS!

 

Proper sleep

PCOS adversely affects the sleep cycle of women struggling with the medical condition. The human body produces a hormone called melatonin, which is directly linked to hair growth. When a human body doesn't get proper sleep, the melatonin hormone levels drop in the body and trigger hair loss. That’s why medical experts recommend 7-8 hours of sleep every night to individuals suffering from PCOS hair loss - in fact to all individuals.

Stress management

PCOS can cause stress, which is one of the biggest factors in triggering hair thinning. For those who don’t know, PCOS can make us prone to stress and anxiety due to longevity in recovery. Stress management activities and meditation can help reduce the stress caused by PCOS and eventually reduce hair fall.

 

Tip: Avoid spending time alone. Meet people you love and indulge in recreational activities. This will help avoid stress and control PCOS hair shedding to some extent.

Lifestyle changes

Regular exercise can contribute greatly to limiting hair loss caused by PCOS. In case you weren't aware, remaining active helps maintain good blood circulation to the scalp and reduces further hair thinning. Specific postures of yoga and meditation boost the blood flow to the scalp and increase the supply of nutrients to the hair follicles. Along with regular exercise, adding fiber to the diet is recommended by medical experts.
