Understanding PCOS/PMOS & Hair Loss: The Hormonal Connection
Hormonal imbalance is one of the most overlooked causes of hair thinning and loss in women. Conditions like PCOS (Polycystic O***y Syndrome) and PMOS (Polycystic Menstrual O***y Syndrome) can elevate androgen levels hormones such as testosterone and DHT which shrink hair follicles and shorten the growth cycle.
At Ottawa Hair Loss Clinic & Wellness, we go beyond surface treatments. Our approach focuses on identifying the root cause of hair loss through scalp analysis, hormone awareness, and personalized care.
Did you know?
Up to 60–70% of women with PCOS experience hair thinning or loss.
Insulin resistance and stress hormones can worsen androgen activity, accelerating hair shedding.
Balancing hormones, improving nutrition, and managing stress can help restore scalp health and hair density.
