Hirsutism with PCOS..ANYONE?!?!?
This is by far the most imbarassing question and part of this disease! Does anyone in here have problems with excess facial and body hair due to the PCOS? It was never like this before but out of nowhere it just started coming in in the most random places, my chest :( stomach and face. I kept telling my doctor that I needed something for it and he said that we needed to get to the root of the problem first (the PCOS) well it's pretty embarassing and I have to find something soon. I went to an electrolosis and it just kept coming back, haven't tried lazer yet but I wax constantly so that it's not seen by others. It makes me feel like Im not even a woman lol I know this seems terribly strange and I don't look like a circus freak it's just annoying to try and manage. Any thoughts or sugestions?
Thank you ladies for sharing your experiences and providing some insight on this horrible effect of PCOS...I too will be looking into an alternative solution and aiming towards loosing the weight I've always wanted to loose in an effort to either get rid or feel comfortable with my foreign friends....LOL!
Thank you so much. I haven't heard of that before so I will definately work on that. I need to anyways due to the fact it surely couldn't kill me to shed a few lol
hello all...well i know its soooooo embarrassing....i fortunately dont have much problem with the hair growth except a few on my chin, which i wax regularly...but i noticed something...when i started losing weight, the hair growth became slower. am pretty fat, and u know its the root cause of developing PCOs and with a little research i came to know that shedding even just 5% of ur body weight can result in partially curing the abnormal hair growth... but for me its been pretty helpful and true...Also, when i started tweezing the hair first, it became thicker and started appearing really quickly..i dont know may b it was my skin type...so started waxing and it was much better. i would suggest waxing as a temporary measure..but there isnt better cure than losing weight ladies...gudluck allllllll
Unfortunately so does mine, I hate that so bad. The ones on my chin are the worst! I am constantly plucking them! I was doing electrolosis for a while but even that didn't slow it down too much and it was really expensive.(very hard to keep up!) I saw an ad for a laser hair removal place here in Salt Lake and I am going to give that a shot!
I wish I had peach fuzz....my hair grows in BLACK and THICK! It is so annoying lol. I agree that the hair seems to grow back extremely FAST! I am going to try waxing. My sister is a cosmotologist and she also has training in waxing, so we are going to try that.
