The Higher BMI, the higher hirsutism (unwanted hair)

  • I found this link on PCOS and unwanted hair: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21909749

    It's a study that shows that if your BMI is higher, you're more likely to have hirsutism.

    In other words, there is hope if you lower your BMI that it will make the unwanted hair really go away, rather than any other symptom of PCOS!
  • This is good to know! I'm so tired of nairing and waxing my chin lol.
  • GREAT.... lol.

    I can safely say with all the weight I've lost my hair issue seems to be pretty much the same (maybe slightly better)

    I too wax and pluck my chin area- I have one of those epilators each sunday to get all the hairs- it's so frustrating!
  • laser is awesome ladies..I spent so much on creams and products and so much time on other methods..in the end, I did laser and it was probably the best money I have ever spent
