No need for why: If your periods are normal and you are reasonably physically fit, then it is most likely that this is simply you. If you dislike the hair, removing it by electrolysis is a simple matter. Should you later develop other problems, such as hypertension or infertility, a real medical workup might be worth trying once again.

Agree with Dr. F: A plausible explanation is that your receptors for testosterone are more sensitive than normal and are producing excessive hair growth with normal hormone levels. This is the reverse of loss of function of testosterone receptor that results in a female phenotype in a genetic (XY) male. The treatment remains as suggested by Dr. F. Wish you good health!
