Talking to your Doc: I understand the emotions behind this question. It is commonly known that women prefer to talk to women and vice versa. But, two things can happen. You can be brave and bring up your concern with your physician and he may surprise you in his ability to discuss this without embarrassment. But, you could also find a spa that treats excess hair and find an expert to help you decide what to do next.

Discuss: You should discuss it with him or ask if he knows a female endocrinologist who can do a work up to see if it is a problem. I am surprised that this should come up. Has he never examined you? Sorry to ask.
