An antiandrogen drug, which is available in pill or cream form, will take care of the hair growth problem. You'll need to discuss the exact dosage of this drug with your doctor. Hair growth should slow down after about five months on the drug. In the interim, electrolysis is the most effective treatment for hair growth on the face, navel, or breasts. Make sure you go to a reputable clinic and ask to talk to past clients.
Sloppy electrolysis can result in burning and other skin problems.
Women with insulin resistance are either at risk for, or have been diagnosed with, Type 2 diabetes. Lowering insulin in women with polycystic ovary syndrome seems to help restore menstrual cycles and lower male hormone levels. Only about half the women diagnosed with PCO have insulin resistance, which means that your body is not responding properly to the insulin produced by your pancreas gland. Before you're placed on an insulin-lowering drug, ask your doctor about how diet and exercise can help your body use insulin more efficiently. You should also ask how insulin-lowering drugs affect pregnancy, and make sure you're aware of all the side effects of these powerful drugs.
