Brief Answer: unrelated Detailed Answer: Hi PCOD condition of a long time is unlikely to have caused hairloss now. I presume this is age related thinning of hair. The hairloss is increased by any stressful events in life. I suggest you start applying potassium channel opener drugs like minoxidil after prescription. Regards Dr. Mahesh Koregol
