Hair growth in women: 19 year old young lady with thick black hair growth on stomach, inner thighs, gluteal area. Hirsutism can be due to excessive androgens or a family trait.

Both can be caused by serious medical conditions that can affect your fertility and may be a manifestation of a medical process requiring investigation. Please get a full exam. Good luck.

Question 8

my 18yo daughter has quite a bit of dark hair on lower stomach and back. periods fairly regular and she has always been thin/no wt.issues. could it be a sign of pcos? what type of doctor should we see to assess if something that needs attention?

Accepted Answer

See a gynecologist: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) causes menstrual irregularity and androgen excess in women. Classic features are hirsutism and irregular menstrual cycles. High androgen levels will also cause acne, male pattern baldness, and hair loss. A gynecologist can sort this out with an ultrasound and blood tests and may be able to treat her with estrogen/progesterone combination birth control  medications.

Question 9

hey im 31 weeks pregnant and i have lots of dark hair on my stomach and i have dark freckle like discoloration. will this go away after pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Well,...: It may, if it just came out during pregnancy.  Hormones during pregnancy can often cause skin discoloration, especially a woman's nipples can become darker in color/pigmentation. Once the hormones return to normal levels (Note: it could be after breast feeding), it is the hopes that your darker hair color and freckles will return to pre-pregnancy conditions. Best wishes.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Is the hair growth: new? See that the acne just started. May be a good idea to see your doctor if that is the case - for some endocrine tests. Take care.
