A member asked:

Am i getting excessive body hair growth or normal puberty?

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Need an exam: The question can only be answered by being examined in a doctor's office, if you want to follow up. Most 42 year olds aren't going through puberty though, right? Or did your age show up wrong?
