A member asked:

Suddenly my hair has thinned and i have facial hair. i had a hysterectomy but that was almost 40yrs ago and 1 ovary was left any suggestions of why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Testosterone up: Both men and women have testosterone. In females, it comes from the adrenal gland and ovary. During the premenopausal years the level of estrogen is very high and the testosterone level is about 2 % thus no visual effects of facial hair. After menopause estrogen levels drop from the ovary and the relative percentage of testosterone rises and now visual hair thinning & facial hair is more evident
