I've been dealing with irregular periods for about 7 years nowthey only happen every 6 or 7 months. In an ultrasound, they found out I have polycystic ovaries. I'm worried about how this might affect my health and future. Can you help me understand what's going on and what steps I should take?

I'm experiencing a lot of hair loss and I'm pretty sure it's linked to my hypothyroidism and PCOS. I'm also deficient in Vitamin B12 and D. My doctor suggested I use Proanagen lotion and tablets. Do you think these will help with the hair fall? I'm really concerned and want to know if this treatment is effective.

Yes you can use them,follow as adviced by your doctor
