January 13th, 2010Question: Does anyone have problems with Hirsutism Polycystic ovary syndrome?
Hirsutism
The cause of hirsutism can be either an increased level of androgens (male hormones) or an oversensitivity of hair follicles to androgens. Male hormones such as testosterone stimulate hair growth, increase size and intensify the growth and pigmentation of hair. Other symptoms associated with a high level of male hormones include acne and deepening of the voice and increased muscle mass.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
If your hormones don’t work in the normal way, your ovaries might make too many eggs. Those eggs turn into many cysts. The cysts (say: “sists”) are like tiny balloons filled with liquid.
About 70 percent of women with PCOS have extra hair growing in the sideburn area of their face and on their chin, upper lip, nipple area, chest, lower abdomen and thighs. They might get acne. About half are obese. Some women with PCOS have no signs of it.
