Hair fall is a common symptom of PCOD, often caused by hormonal imbalances that disrupt normal hair growth and can result in shedding with a white bulb at the root.
-Consulting a healthcare professional is important for a clear diagnosis and to explore options like medications, treatments, or supplements
-Including foods rich in protein, iron, zinc, biotin, omega-3, and vitamins A, B, D, and E - like leafy greens, nuts, eggs, seeds, fish, and whole grains - can support hair health.
-For PCOD, focus on a balanced diet rich in whole grains, lean proteins, leafy greens, colorful vegetables, berries, nuts, seeds, and omega-3-rich fish like salmon and sardines.
-Limit processed foods, refined sugars, and fried snacks, as these can worsen symptoms.
-Regular exercise, stress management, and good sleep are also important for hormonal balance and reducing hair fall.
