Maybe, maybe not: A woman with excess facial hair can see her primary care doctor for an evaluation, looking for hormonal imbalances that can cause hair growth. The woman can bring a several-month diary to her doctor, with the diary showing when her menstrual periods were and what her weights were if she was gaining/losing weight. Sometimes, hairy features run in the family (one should inform the doctor if so).

Not really.: Not really. It could just mean that you're genetically predisposed to have more facial hair. However, occasionally, such symptoms are associated with pcos (polycystic ovary syndrome), ovarian neoplasms, etc... A thorough history, physical and work-up by a competent provider is the start to getting some answers, if the symptoms continue to be bothersome.
