Excessive hair, pcos? Help me girls?

[Anonymous]

Okay so I'm 15 and I have side burns, hair on my forehead and cheeks n chin n neck but they're fairly thin so its not that much of a problem and I have hair on my chest stomach back bum toes fingers hands feet, like most people my age don't have it and I have to pluck my upper lip and I sort of have low self asteem about it, I don't know if it runs in the family I don't know if I have too many male hormones in my body I mean I'm half Indian and my mum is English/Maltese so I'm not sure? It's just really embarrassing just the fact that I have to hide my body:( and I don't feel normal and I can't wear what I want, I'm too scared to shave it all because of the way it grows back and things and I don't know whether or not to see a doctor I don't know how I'd tell my dad that I need to see a doctor because of this issue due to not having my mum here for me so;( please tell me if you're the same because it would help a little to know I'm not the only one x (p. s my periods are fairly normal)

It does sound like PCOS and there is a ton of information on the internet. Try webmd. You need to tell your father you have a woman's problem and need to see a gynecologist.

Thank you this website is really good it said my possible condition was hirsutism! I think in a couple of months I'll go and see a doctor because I'm quite busy with school and yeah thanks a lot though!

Hirsutism is a SYMPTOM, not a diagnosis. It does sound like PCOS.

Oh so, do you think it will be okay if I like leave it for like 9 months because I have a lot of problems going on at the moment

I'm not a doctor, so I can't tell you that it's fine if you wait. If its PCOS, then you do want to treat it, but the timeline is somewhat flexible. That said, how busy can you be that you can't make a 45 minute appointment?

True thanks for your help x

Some women are hairier than others. Especially true of Indian women. Try waxing if you are afraid to shave.

I would suggest going to the doctors and getting them to run some tests and giving you a proper diagnosis.
