I have a over active male hormone so my body hair stands out a lot and it takes to long to shave.. is there a cheep what to stop it growing?

GYN: You may have a condition that is responsive to an inexpensive medication for diabetes. Consider going to a gynecologist and being checked out for polycystic ovaries or another hormonal syndrome that can be treated.
