Does ovarian cysts make your hair thin out?

HI J E, Check out Aaliyah's momma's response. If you have more symptoms (other than the thinning hair), go to the dr. Go to Wikipedia and print out the page on PCOS and take it with you to the doctor. There are treatments for PCOS, (better than the oft prescribed birth control pills that do little more than mask your symptoms, not solve the underlying problem.) If your dr. seems heistant to do more than prescribe BC pills, keep looking for a dr. who is well-versed with PCOS or similar ovarian/endocrin. problems. Good Luck!

By the way, another thing that can cause problems with thinning hair is thyroid disorders. Go to the dr. and get a good check up!

Signs and symptoms

Common symptoms of PCOS include

Oligomenorrhea, amenorrhea - irregular, few, or absent menstrual periods; cycles that do occur may comprise heavy bleeding (check with a gynecologist because heavy bleeding is also an early warning sign of endometrial cancer, for which women with PCOS are at higher risk)

Infertility, generally resulting from chronic anovulation (lack of ovulation)

Elevated serum (blood) levels of androgens (male hormones), specifically testosterone, androstenedione, and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), causing hirsutism and occasionally masculinization

Central obesity - "apple-shaped" obesity centered around the lower half of the torso

Androgenic alopecia (male-pattern baldness)

Acne, oily skin, seborrhea

Acanthosis nigricans (dark patches of skin, tan to dark brown or black)

Acrochordons (skin tags) - tiny flaps of skin

Prolonged periods of PMS-like symptoms (bloating, mood swings, pelvic pain, backaches)

Sleep apnea

Notice, male-pattern baldness is included in the symptoms.
