I am thinking I have polycystic ovary syndrome, I have alot of the symptoms except I didn't read anything on hair loss with it, I have just seen that hair growth on chest, back, and face, but nothing on hair loss!

As some who has had PCOS for 15+ years, I can say I have never heard of hairloss as a symptom. Excessive hair, especially on the face can be an issue. Lack of period, weight gain specifically around the middle. Even once you get your hormones regulated, the hair doesn't go away. I would be happy to answer any questions if I can. Feel free to email me.naenae42day@yahoo.com

i was recently diagnosed with this. yes it can cause hair loss. u can have hair grow on ur chest, neck, and face. u have irregular periods. i even have a pregnancy like mask on my face. when i start my period it goes away and then around ovualtion time u can start to see it again. all of this is due to ur ovaries producing to much testosterone and ur pancreas producing to much insulin. my doctor put me on metformin. my doctor did a simple blood test on me to see if i had it. i also had an ultrasound and it showed cyst all in my ovaries. go see ur family doctor or ur gyn doctor. also visit webmd.com. good luck!!!!!!!!
