FIGHT HAIR LOSS DUE TO PCOS

Posted by Manny Y on 6th Apr 2015

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is a hormonal health condition in women and is the number one cause of female infertility. PCOS is also known as Stein-Leventhal Syndrome. An ovarian cyst is commonly found in women with this kind of health problem.

The usual signs and symptoms of this disease are irregular, few, or absent menstrual periods, obesity, weight gain, skin discoloration, oily skin, dandruff, and hirsutism. Hirsutism is increased hair growth on the face, chest, back, stomach, thumbs, or toes. Women with PCOS may also develop brown patches on the skin, are prone to acne, experience depression and anxiety, and have sleep apnea.

In PCOS, the ovaries produce excess androgens. What is androgen? It is the male hormone that females also have but in smaller amounts. When the level of this masculinizing hormone is increased as in the case of PCOS, it affects the development and release of egg cells during ovulation.

The treatment for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome includes diet modification to counter obesity and lower blood sugar levels. Birth control pills are prescribed to regulate the menstrual cycle and reduce the male hormone levels. In patients who wish to get pregnant, fertility medications are given. In cases where the patient does not respond to fertility pills, surgery is performed to increase the chance of ovulation.

Male-pattern baldness or thinning hair is very common among women with PCOS. This occurs because of the increased levels of male hormones, including testosterone. One of the hormones that come from the breakdown of testosterone is DHT. The bad news is that DHT binds to the sites on hair follicles, forcing them to go into the resting phase. In addition, it causes the hair to become gradually thinner with each growth cycle. This is the reason why women with PCOS have severe thinning hair and excessive hair loss. This causes depression and affects self-esteem.

Nisim Shampoo is an herbal based solution that stops excessive hair loss within one week. Use the Nisim Extract along with the shampoo as this extract blocks DHT. If you have PCOS and you are losing hair, the Nisim Hair Stimulating Extract is the only natural DHT blocker with proof that it can neutralise DHT. The organic enzymes and amino acids in Nisim help feed your thinning hair and the herbal actives reduce the amount of scalp DHT to fight hair loss naturally.
