What is the most common form of treatment for women with hirsutism?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Topical and hormonal: Hirsutism, or excessive hair growth, may be caused by genetic/ethnic factors, and/or certain hormonal disorders. Topical treatments (shaving, waxing, plucking, creams) may help. Need to also diagnose and treat hormonal problem (too much male hormones or androgens from ovaries or adrenals). This may mean surgery to remove tumors, or making lifestyle change in pcos, or meds to lower androgen level.
