Can Polycystic Ovary Syndrome cause hair growth on the lips? Can it be cured?

Patient's question:

I am a person with hair on my lips. I started my period at 13, which wasn't very normal—coming every two or three months. I got married at 21, but after marriage, I didn't have children for seven years. During those seven years, I took progesterone many times, except for menopausal medication. Finally, after a thorough check-up at a regular hospital, I learned that I have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The hair on my lips might also be due to this reason. I would like to consult a doctor about whether the hair on my lips can be treated.

Doctor's answer:

Hello. If the testosterone level decreases gradually, a small amount may fall off. You may not only have hair growth in your mouth but also have much stronger limbs than ordinary women. Hair in your mouth can be removed with many depilatory creams. It may never grow back in the future. The premise is that polycystic ovary syndrome must be treated to normalize menstruation and lower testosterone levels to normal. I hope this helps you and wish you happiness and joy.
