Female pattern baldness and facial hair
I have thick facial hair which grows very fast, and I've been losing hair and at this point I'm bald pretty much. My period is regular though on USG they told me I had PCOS. But my hair fall is causing depression and I cry every time I wash my hair and I lose so much. Can you please advice spirinolactone or drosperinone or cyperoterone for me?

yes we can advice for you it is based on the hirsutus m and hyperandrogenic state in yourself so you have to correlate with Polycystic ovary disease if you have with ultrasound scan
to rule out other hormonal imbalance is like thyroid profile prolactin and a complete haemogram test
you also have to contact directly for the prescription on those medicines and it is having side effects which has to be known before taking this medicine
