PCOS & pesky hair growth - will it every stop? Sometimes no :( Once the hair follicles are sensitized to the elevated testosterone over time, even when testosterone levels normalize and blood sugar and progesterone are in better balance, women can still suffer with this horrid symptom. I recommend at least trying herbs like saw palmetto and nettles and include zinc in your regimen to stop the testosterone to DHT (more active form of testosterone) conversion and hinder hair growth (and breakouts). My clear+normalize product contains all of these. And some women do find Spironolactone does help with hair growth as well (if they tolerate side effects). When that doesnt help we of course can resort to professional hair removal treatments. Although expensive, I hear the best results from women whoe done laser hair removal. If that interests you watch for Groupons to save on services and get a package deal as it requires multiple treatments. I find the herbs definitely help, but for some women its not enough. Dont be afraid to look at other options if this PCOS symptom has you down! Obviously hair removal does nothing to manage the PCOS so still get after the diet and lifestyle aspect to address the underlying cause, but dont suffer with this if you feel youve tried everything :)
