Oh does that cause more facial hair?
knightly the SneptaurI’ve known two people with PCOS, one of them is a (hot) man now, and the other has to shave more than me since I started hormome therapy. XD
I have hirsutism due to PCOS. I’m waxing that mofo of a mustache even though it hurts like a bitch. Ain’t got no time to waste on shaving every day lol. It’s the harmless part of having PCOS, and kinda wish it was my biggest concern about it, lol.
No laser as option?
grysbokTheir hair might be too light to laser. My partner ran into that when he looked into laser hair removal.
The hair tends to grow back with PCOS regardless. Some people have better results with electrolysis, but for some the hair still comes back.
With no judgement, what is pcos? And what are the worse symptoms then being hairy?
It’s short for Polycystic ovary syndrome. It’s an endocrine disorder that in some women causes cysts to form on ovaries, hence the name, but it’s not a universal symptom. It can affect liver function (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease or NAFLD for short), increase cholesterol, cause insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, irregular menstrual cycle, pelvic pain (especially if a cyst ruptures, that can cause extreme pain), mood changes, make it difficult to get pregnant.
RebekahWSDIS THAT WHY MY LIVER MIGHT BE LIVERING BADLY?? TIME TO ASK MY DOCTOR OH MY GOD
It’s a possibility. But there’s plenty other stuff that can mess with liver function. Another one off the top of my head is celiac disease.
There’s a number of things indeed, but it’s something to talk to the np about.
