Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain hormonal imbalances are one of the most common cause for hairfall and as you have a problem of Polycystic ovary disease it can be one of the most common cause ofr hairfall..
There can be other common causes like nutritional deficiency, stress, side effect of medicines, using harsh chemical shampoos while an also be due to pattern baldness caused by genetics and androgenic hormones..
I would suggest you to consult a Trichologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like Hormonal profile, complete blood picture and Dermoscopy can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly..
You can be advised to apply 2% Minoxidil solution over the scalp.
You can also be advised a combination of multivitamins, minerals and amino acids..
You should gently massage your scalp using coconut oil or olive oil..
You can also reduce stress by doing meditation and breathing exercises..
Take more of green leafy vegetables and fruits..
Drink plenty of water..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
