    TLDR Five different TPO gene mutations were found in PCOS patients with thyroid hormone issues.
    In 2014, a study was conducted on Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) patients, revealing the presence of multiple small peripheral cysts and an increase in ovarian volume. The study found that 20.8% of the PCOS patients had hyperthyroidism. The thyroid stimulating hormone-TSH level was significantly higher (17.34±5.12μIU/ml) in 4 PCOS patients with thyroid hormone disturbances compared to PCOS patients without thyroid disturbances or the healthy control group. Additionally, 7 PCOS patients with thyroid hormone disturbances showed lower levels of triiodothyronine-T3 and thyroxine-T4. Molecular analysis detected five substitution thyroid peroxidase genes -TPO mutations in 5 patients with PCOS and thyroid hormone disturbances. Three of these mutations were found in exon 8 and two in exon 9.

      A 29-year-old woman is experiencing gradual hair thinning since age 15, suspects Androgenic Alopecia, and has tried 5% minoxidil with little success. She has purchased various hair loss treatments including minoxidil, dutasteride, finasteride, and spironolactone, but is cautious about starting them due to potential interactions with her ADHD medication.

      Hair loss varies due to genetic sensitivity to DHT and other factors. Treatments discussed include finasteride, minoxidil, RU58841, and microneedling.

      community Female, 30, PCOS diagnosis, MPB Norwood 2. Endo refuses to give anything other than Spironolactone. Feel like I’m at my wit’s end here.

      A 30-year-old female with PCOS and male pattern baldness is frustrated with her endocrinologist's recommendation of only Spironolactone and minoxidil, feeling that dutasteride, finasteride, and progesterone would be more effective. Other users suggest various online sources for treatments, warn against self-medicating due to potential risks, and recommend seeking a specialized endocrinologist or considering additional treatments like Inositol, Berberine, and dermaneedling.

      community Sugar and Hair loss connections

      in Research/Science  41 upvotes 8 months ago
      High sugar diets may worsen hair loss by increasing 5α-reductase activity and androgen levels, especially in women with PCOS. A low sugar diet might reduce scalp DHT levels, similar to finasteride, but genetics also significantly influence hair loss.
