If you're dealing with thinning hair, a widening part, or excessive shedding and have PCOS, you're not imagining things—hair loss is one of the most common (and most frustrating) symptoms of hormonal imbalance.
But the good news is: PCOS hair loss is reversible. With the right plan, you can slow shedding, support regrowth, and feel like yourself again.
At Oana Health, we specialize in hormonal care for women. Here's what really works to reverse PCOS-related hair loss in 2025.
1. Start With Lifestyle Tweaks That Target Hormones
PCOS is deeply connected to insulin resistance and inflammation—two factors that can fuel hair loss by increasing androgen (male hormone) levels like testosterone and DHT.
Try these science-backed changes:
- Balance your blood sugar: Choose low-glycemic, high-fiber foods (like leafy greens, legumes, and whole grains).
- Move your body consistently: Just 30 minutes a day of walking or strength training can improve insulin sensitivity and hormone regulation.
- Sleep & stress: Cortisol (the stress hormone) can also affect hair loss. Prioritize rest and calming routines like yoga or journaling.
These changes won’t regrow hair overnight—but they can stabilize the hormonal environment needed for regrowth.
2. Spironolactone: Block the Hormones That Harm Hair
One of the most effective prescription options for PCOS hair loss is Spironolactone. It works by blocking androgen receptors, reducing the impact of testosterone and DHT on your hair follicles.

It’s especially helpful if you have:
- Hair thinning along the part line
- Acne or facial hair alongside scalp hair loss
- Oily scalp or skin
At Oana, we prescribe Spironolactone at personalized doses (like 50mg, 100mg, or 150mg daily) based on your needs and symptoms—all through a convenient online consult.
3. Oral Minoxidil: Boost Regrowth from Within
To speed up regrowth and improve hair density, Oral Minoxidil can be added to your treatment plan. Originally used for blood pressure, it’s now widely prescribed in low doses to stimulate hair follicles, lengthen the growth cycle, and increase hair thickness.

It’s a great option if you:
- Don’t love messy topical treatments
- Want to maximize regrowth while on Spironolactone
- Prefer once-daily pills with strong safety data
Oana offers both Spironolactone and Oral Minoxidil through our platform—prescribed by expert providers who understand hormonal hair loss in women.
You Can Regrow Your Hair—and Reclaim Your Confidence
PCOS hair loss can feel isolating, but it's not permanent. With the right combination of lifestyle adjustments and targeted prescription support, your hair can grow back healthier and stronger.
At Oana Health, we’re here to help you get to the root—literally and hormonally.
