A member asked:
While taking low-ogestrel, is facial hair growth common?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It should not, unles: It should not cause this but for one reason: low-dose estrogen can lower the production of sex-hormone binding globulin by the liver, which might increase free testosterone levels. All these can be checked out by your pcp, enodcrinologist, or metabolism specialists.
