Brief Answer: yes Detailed Answer: Hi PCOS is associated with high testosterone levels which leads to hair fall. Let me know if you have tested your testosterone levels. If they are high need to be treated with anti testesterone medicines. Need to get testosterone levels tested first. Let me know the serum testosterone levels. Also let me know ultrasound findings of PCOS you have. Regards Dr. Mahesh Koregol

Brief Answer: yes Detailed Answer: Hi Send testesterone as well as any other reports you have. Scan and upload them. Get an ultrasound scan done to check and confirm PCOS really exists. Also let me know your height and weight. Let me know if you have regular menses. Regards
