Temporal balding is listed as a symptom of which condition in the material?

Explanation:
Temporal balding signals androgen-driven hair loss. In PCOS, many individuals have elevated androgens from the ovaries, which accelerates miniaturization of scalp hair follicles and produces thinning at the temples. This pattern fits androgenic alopecia and is why PCOS is the correct association. The other conditions—endometriosis (pelvic pain and related symptoms), leukorrhea (vaginal discharge), and PMS (mood and physical symptoms around menses)—do not typically present with androgen-related hair loss.
