What should you use for hirsutism in smokers ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Multiple options: There are many different hormonal ways to treat hirsutism (spironolactone, finasteride, flutamide). In certain women with pcos metformin may have benefits. And laser hair removal/electrolysis may also be useful. It depends on the individual circumstance. It would be preferable to stay away from birth control pills.
