Rarely, hirsutism is a result of a serious underlying disorder, but this can easily be ruled out with a medical history and some simple blood tests. Because treatments are available, any woman who has trouble controlling body or facial hair by mechanically removing it may benefit from medical evaluation. Endocrinologists are concerned about underlying medical problems if the hirsutism is severe, if it is accompanied by menstrual problems, or if there are other features to suggest a marked increase in androgens such as baldness or deepening of the voice. Women with mild hirsutism and regular menstrual cycles rarely have an underlying medical problem. The treatment of hirsutism can be divided into mechanical treatments, which physically remove unwanted hair, and medical treatments, which reduce the effect of androgens on the skin.
Endocrinologists usually have considerable experience in managing patients with hirsutism.
An appropriate investigation to rule out serious underlying problems. A discussion of the different options for treatment, including ways of removing hair and medicines that can reduce the amount of hair. Endocrine research has helped us to better understand the causes of hirsutism and has made many advances in the effective treatment of excess hair growth in women.
