I'm a hairer girl?!
Question: I'm a hairer girl, 16 soon to be 17, and I'm not MAN hairy just FEMALE hairy... lol.
I'm of course sick of dealing with it because I feel like it's UNFAIR! lol. But, I read that it's caused by too much estrogen in my body. I also read that girls w/ too much of that usually have bigger eyes, hips, boobs, etc. I'm a curvy girl so maybe it is the estrogen. Even when I was really then... I still had big boobs.
My question... I WANT MY HAIR TO STOP GROWING! I have hair grow on my lower back, stomach, upper lip, side burns, and a little on my thighs... non on my hips or middle of my back which is weird... but can I take any SAFE pills that will stop this estrogen...
PLEASE HELP ME! ...

agree with the above. it's not estrogen; it's testosterone. it might not even be genetic..in fact lots of the food we eat today are laced with estrogen, especially the non-organic stuff. just a result of all those steroids and hormones they put in the food i guess..but your best bet is to wax. dont try messing with your hormones before talking to your doc.
Actually, it's caused by an imbalance of too little estrogen and too much male hormones.
See a doctor - particularly an Endocrinologist. They specialize in hormonal disorders.
Agreeing with the Nancy chcick
Sounds like it could be POCS. Go to your gynecologist. Usually the medicine for this is birth control pills to help regulate your hormones.
