YASMIN (PCOS & Hair Loss)
» For some people it isn't necessarily the amount of androgens you have but
» the fact that your hair follicle is sensitive to the DHT produced by
» testosterone. This is the case with the majority of women who loose their
» hair...most of them have normal androgens, just that sensivity.
»
» Yasmin can help in a couple of ways. First the estrogen in it will help
» raise SHBG which will bind to the tesstosterone and keep it from being
» converted to DHT.
»
» Also the progesterone in Yasmin is the equivalant of 25 mgs of Aldactone
» (Spiro), which can further add in helping the sensitivity.
»
» In additin, since your periods are nto regular and hormonal fluctuations
» are bad for your hair, it will regulate your cycle and keep your hormones
» in check.
»
» Will it help your hair?
» It very well could. For some people Yasmin and other BCP's have been life
» savers, and have helped stop the shedding and regrow hair. Others have had
» very negative experieinces as you have no doubt read.
»
» I think if you are already losing hair and in a bad situation, with your
» periods being crazy and a PCOS DX, then you should give it a try.
V is right. I didn't mean to sound totally negative in my post. I think you could very well be one that it helps...like the many others. Good luck to you nice!
