Hirsutism: How to Manage Unwanted Hair in PCOS?

Hirsutism occurs when high testosterone stimulates hair follicles. Epilation alone is a temporary solution; balancing hormones is the real cure.

What Can You Do?

  • Laser Hair Removal: The most effective cosmetic method for reducing appearance, but hair may return if hormones aren't balanced.
  • Spearmint Tea: Two cups of spearmint tea regulate androgen levels.
  • Balancing Insulin: As insulin drops, ovarian testosterone production also drops.
