There are actually medical reasons that your hormones are off balance and begin to cause unsightly hair to grow where you never had it before. Women with irregular periods, the condition called polycystic ovaries, those with genetic traits that predispose them to these conditions and a variety of less common causes can be diagnosed by your gynecologist. About 50% of women with polycystic ovaries (PCOS) will have some degree of glucose metabolism problems, actually a pre-diabetic state. Controlling those hormones can help balance hormones for more benefit when treating unwanted hair. For those wanting to read about a variety of hormone issues go to GynoGab. If your gyneocologist wants you to have medical therapies we often do use the oral contraceptive, and picking the right one or adjusting the kind of hormone can be beneficial to some women. There are also a number of other medications such as spironalactone, eflornithine in a cream, flutamide and finsteride that have been used and may be covered by your insurance plans. Not all hair will be successfully removed by medical treatment. It takes bout 6-112 months for full effectiveness and may still require advanced treatments for long term successful hair reduction. We suggest that patients come in for a consultation, talking to someone knowledgeable about both skin and unwanted hair can be the first step towards success!
