Patient's question:
Does hair growth on a woman's face have anything to do with insulin resistance? Because she used to diet, but her body hair has always been quite heavy since she was a child. Her menstrual period is light and delayed by 2 to 3 days, which is very similar to polycystic ovary syndrome. She had a thorough check-up before, and the doctor said it wasn't, but now she's wondering whether to do a six-hormone check or an adrenal check?Doctor's answer:
A normal female body may again appear with many mild hairs. If the hair is dense, it is considered a situation where androgens are continuously increasing, which can be caused by gynecological diseases in women and endocrine disorders. It is recommended to check the endocrine condition, such as the six sexual hormones. If there are no problems, it generally does not interfere with health and does not need to be addressed. If it affects appearance, laser permanent hair removal in the dermatology department can be considered. Develop a good dietary habit, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, high-protein foods, drink more water to digest the body's required water, and at the same time, engage in various activities to exercise and enhance physical fitness. It is also necessary to have a scientific life routine.
