Hello,

1. All the PCO patients need some special attention. As you are very young and unmarried it can affect your married life and your chances of getting pregnant will be reduced if this situation is not handled carefully.
2. Take proper medicine prescribed by your doctor.
3. Do exercise, yoga to stay fit and maintain a normal weight.
4. Get an ultrasound done to check the status of your ovaries.
5. For hair fall, get your thyroid test (TSH) done as PCOD almost go hand in hand with hypothyroidism which causes hair to fall and destroy the follicle if proper medication is not taken at right time.

6. For acne, you can use KLM KLIM AHA salicylic acid face wash twice a day. it will surely help you in getting rid of your acne.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
