PCOS strikes again! I don't know how many times we have had a female patient come in for a consultation about an increase in body -- including facial -- hair, unaware of what might be causing it. An increase in body hair growth on the face, chest, stomach, back, thumbs, or toes is a condition called hirsutism, often brought on by a condition called Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. Millions of women suffer from it across the globe.
If you suspect you have a hirsutisic condition, your first step is to speak with your doctor. Chances are the hair growth is caused by a hormonal imbalance. The real question then is, what is causing the hormonal imbalance?
One possible cause is PCOS, a health condition from which women develop high levels of male hormones, called androgens, that allow women to produce male-like body hair. While the explanation may be logical, the result on a woman's mental and emotional health is devastating.
