Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
P C O S ( poly cystic ovarian disorder ) have following symptoms sign and symptoms. I want to tell you these things ,so that you may know the cause of your problem.
Androgen excess causes hirsutism and acne.
Menstrual irregularities , dysfunctional uterine bleeding or amenorrhea.
obesity.
Lh /FSH ratio changed ,
elevated testosterone level,
Ovarian follicles changes.

Thinning of hairs may be due to many reasons besides pcos.
If possible upload the reports of various hormones.
Consult an Endocrinologist and get his opinion.
Hope I have answered your question.
If further any question I will help.
Good luck.
