A member asked:
Period has regulated to 28 day cycle after 1 year since getting period back. i've had hirsutism since teens but got worse recently around nipples, chest and chin. not overweight but inactive high fat-muscle ratio, stress & pcos. why has hair got bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
PCOS: PCOS causes increased estrogen/androgen which can worsen hair problems. Talk to your endocrinologist about medications aimed at reducing androgen levels which can cause hirsutism. Birth control pills make the body produce fewer male hormones. With regular use, you should have less hair on your face or body. Anti-androgen blockers help your body make and use fewer male hormones.
