Does Major Weight Loss Cure Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome?

Saturday, October 24th, 2009

I am very much obese and have all the horrible side effects of PCOS: the excess facial/body hair, some male pattern baldness, darkened skin on the back of my neck, underarms, inner thighs, acne, etc. I also have what is known as Metabolic Syndrome. If I was to become a healthy weight for my age (27), would this cure or drastically reduce the effects of my PCOS or am I doomed to suffer with this condition for the rest of my life?

Why Does My Kitten Have Bald Patches On His Face?

Saturday, October 17th, 2009

He’s an 8 month old moggy/Burmese cross, and according to the vet he’s completely healthy. Ever since I got him as a young kitten, he’s had no fur from the base of his ears down to his upper eyelids- so he has 2 triangle-shaped bald patches on his face. Recently I’ve noticed the fur on his nose & between his eyes is thinning, and he has little bald patches on his chin. The fur everywhere else is normal and healthy. I thought at first that the baldness seemed to be ‘spreading’ because he must be losing fur in fights, but I guess if he was fighting, he’d be getting injured, and he hasn’t been.There doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with his skin in the bald patches (it’s pale white, just like the rest of him).
So does anyone know why my cat appears to have male pattern baldness??
