Can hirsutism caused by polycystic ovary syndrome be reversed?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is primarily treated with clomiphene. Clomiphene induces the hypothalamus to release gonadotropin-releasing hormone, which in turn promotes the pituitary gland to release follicle-stimulating hormone, thereby facilitating the normal development of follicles.
