1. All women with excess hair or hirutism should have blood level testing for testosterone and free testosterone

2. All women with signs of elevated male hormones should have testing for 17-hydroxprogesterone, testing at the appropriate time of the day and the appropriate time of the cycle is important as well

3. Even if blood testing doesn’t indicate you have abnormal levels, the new society guidelines suggest treatment, for this you have to see your gyno and discuss

4. Lifestyle changes have positive effects on the hirsutism, improving all aspects of the hormone disorders that cause this

  • Hello! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website?
    I’m getting tired of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform.
    I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
