Physicians at the University of Missouri Health Sciences Center have significant experience with this procedure. Also known as balloon thermal ablation, this is a relatively simple process. Facial hair after hysterectomy I've always had excessive facial hair, and this has become even more of a problem since my hysterectomy last year. I'm an attractive woman if you don't see this terrible facial hair. It is not uncommon for women to have an increase in facial hair after hysterectomy or menopause.
Women normally produce male hormones called androgens.
When estrogen levels drop following surgery or menopause and no longer counteract androgen levels, facial hair can be a side effect. Please discuss this with the healthcare provider who prescribed your Premarin. You may require more estrogen or a different form of estrogen to stop the hair growth. Another alternative might be electrolysis, but this can be an expensive and time-consuming procedure. 882-7000 to make an appointment with a University of Missouri Health Sciences Center physician.
