Hair loss due to PCOS

2023-12-22 05:19:03
I have thyroid and PCOD. Due to heavy hair fall scalp has become visible. Minoxidil helps to decrease the hair fall but lost hair never grows again. Whenever I stop using minoxidil hair fall gets worsened. My question is will my lost hair ever grow back? Or I have to accept the fact that my condition is not curable and with time it will only get worse.
