Polycystic ovary syndrome causes 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 the age of 13, and it wasn't very regular—occurring 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. It wasn't until I went to a regular hospital for a thorough examination that I found out I had polycystic ovary syndrome. 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 part may fall off. You may not only have hair growth in your mouth but also have much stronger limbs than ordinary women. Hair on your mouth can be removed with many depilatory creams. After that, it may never grow again. The premise is that polycystic ovary syndrome must be treated to normalize menstruation and reduce testosterone to normal levels. I hope this helps you, and wish you happiness and joy.
