A member asked:
I was just wondering..can you be hairy but not have pcos? i am thin, dont have acne , testoterone 0.69nmol/l. just hairy and have long regular cycles

Hirsutism: Yes, you can be hairy without having PCOS. You will mostly find this in families where other family members have excessive body hair, both men & women. Also, if you have family members who have PCOS, you should have a thorough work up, just to make sure you are not affected. Hope this helps and ask further questions if you have them.
