How To Treat Hirsutism & Unwanted Hair

- Do you have hair where you don’t want it, ladies - like whiskers on your face or your chest? It is called Hirsutism and it’s common in PCOS. Let’s talk about effective treatment for unwanted hair...
Dealing with hirsutism can be really hard, but it's possible to stop the abnormal hair growth if you understand how your hormones work. Hirsutism and PCOS is something we talk about a lot in my Hormone Support Group, which is FREE to join here: members.genesi...
So what is hirsutism? Hirsutism is male-pattern body and facial hair growth in women. And it’s a common symptom of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This male pattern hair growth happens because your body makes too much male hormone. In PCOS it’s from an overproduction of DHEA which gets converted to testosterone. But it’s not testosterone that’s the problem. It’s DHT or Dihydrotestosterone that stimulates unwanted hair growth.
How do you get rid of the facial and chest hair?
First (01:07): You must balance your hormones.
Estrogen helps to stimulate sex hormone-binding globulin which binds testosterone. If your male hormone is high from too much adrenal DHEA production, it’s hard for your ovaries to make enough estrogen to bind up all that testosterone. Supporting your hypothalamus which is the boss of all your hormones helps your body naturally get your female and male hormones back in balance. Losing extra belly fat caused by insulin resistance which is common in women with PCOS can help balance your hormones too. In some cases, estrogenic herbs can be helpful but be careful as women with PCOS tend to have more estrogen than progesterone and estrogenic herbs may make your imbalance worse.
One of the best ways to help lower your male hormone to reduce hirsutism is to eat a healthy plant-based diet. I like to recommend the Mediterranean diet as it’s easy to follow - rich in healthy fats and lots of colorful vegetables which help you metabolism your hormones safely. Avoiding processed foods is key to keeping hirsutism causing male hormone levels down.
Second (02:08): You need to block DHT.
Dihydrotestosterone is the most potent male hormone and women with hirsutism tend to make too much of it. DHT stimulates male pattern hair growth on the face and chest, even heavy arm and leg hair as well as wide male pattern pubic hair growth. Five alpha-reductase inhibitors are often prescribed to block DHT, but these drugs can have significant side effects. Especially for pregnant women - if you’re carrying a male fetus, the baby’s genitalia will not develop properly. A natural DHT blocker is called saw palmetto - an herb used by men to block DHT which helps shrink their enlarged prostates. Saw palmetto can work well for women too to block DHT and prevent further unwanted hair growth.
Third (02:58): Last, you can begin to remove unwanted hair. There are a few effective hair removal techniques - like laser and electrolysis. But until you balance your hormones and block DHT first, the unwanted hair will continue to grow. So before investing in expensive time-consuming hair removal procedures, get your hormones in balance.

Hi, I’m 15 years old and I think I have hirstusim I didn’t go to the doctor yet but as symptoms I have hair on my chest, back and belly but the hair on my chest is thin and not very noticeable but the part between my breast it’s more noticeable there. I have regular period and I don’t have chin “beard” hair, some recommend taking birth control pills but I also heard that pills just not so good so I want to try natural treatments like spearmint tea but can I use any mint (peppermint) or does it have to be spearmint and do the hair go away ?
I’ve not seen any studies using mint for hirsuitism. My patients with PCOS and hirsuitism do well by supporting their hypothalamus
Did you ever find out what you had? I have excess hair growth but perfect periods and no other symptoms at all. My hair isn’t terrible but it’s definitely not normal
@@livsaunders3722 I agree have u found anything out?
walking is an actual life saver for pcos
I got cured permanently with Dr iyaremoses on UA-cam herbs cream
I need to try it more :( I just get anxious in public
Hi doctor I'm 19 years old and I have excessive hair on my body, face.. All over my body. I have regular periods . I'm suffering *excessive* hairfall too. I am very worried. I don't know what to do 😭😭😭
Supporting your hypothalamus can help. genesisgold.com/balance-your-hormones/
I have hair on my chest and stomach, but I don’t have pcos or any issues with my hormones, I checked myself twice, and I do get regular periods, I’m middle eastern tho… I read that if you have pcos or hormonal issues, laser treatments might not work, but since I don’t have these issues, i still don’t know if it it’s going to be effective for me or a waste of money
I got cured permanently with Dr iyaremoses on UA-cam herbs cream
Thank you Dr. This has been so informative and great. You’ve got a new sub 😊
Thank you for the tips and information! I recently went to the obgyn to have a sonogram as I was certain I had PCOS. Well, they said my ovaries are great and they prescribed me birth control. Is it possible that I have excessive hair due to poor diet, stress, and being overweight? Thank you.
You don’t have to have cysts on your ovaries to have PCOS - it’s misnamed - the syndrome is actually metabolic involving the ovaries, the adrenals and glucose metabolism. But yes your lifestyle greatly your hormones. My patients have had great success by following the healthy lifestyle protocols I outline in our Hormone Reboot Training - members.genesisgold.com/hrt
I'm 20 year old and I have regular periods but I have hair on my neck and under the chin area ... So pls can u suggest something so that it can be removed ... Pls reply
First you have to get your hormones in balance before getting permanent hair removal - like laser . I recommend supporting your hypothalamus to balance your estrogen and testosterone levels genesisgold.com/balance-your-hormones/#hypothalamus-support
Lazer is the best way. It works wonders.
Myo inositol, black cohosh, Dim, and raspberry leaf.
I have hirsutism and suffer from chin and stomach hair. If I youse saw palmetto will the hair grow back if I stop using it? Does it just control it while using it or does it over time stop the unwanted hair growth completely?
Saw palmetto blocks DHT conversion from testosterone. If you don’t balance the underlying hormone issues, you will have to continually block DHT
Hello Doctor, I am 20 and I'm concern of my hormones. I started to have irregular period since I was 19 and my unwanted hair just started appearing all of a sudden and I haven't checked to the doctor yet and I wanna ask if this is a sign of pcos? Thank you.

Hi I’m 18 I have regular periods but I have Thick hair around my chin, chest nipples and my belly but idk if I have pcos because I weigh 135 pounds, my periods are always normal I just have hair lots of hair everywhere
Same, it SUCKS SO BAD
Same i also have hairs on neck
It's most likely a differential diagnosis of PCOS called idiopathic hirsutism. It's caused by a hyperactivity in the hormone converting testosterone to DHT (5alphareductase). You need to see an endocrinologist
@@mallorydavis4593 like I have normal period but idk I just have bunch of hair

Hello, i am 39 y old, I get my periods regularly for 28 to 30 days, but I have thichk hairs on chin, please suggest me
You’ll need to get your hormones checked to be sure you’re not producing too much androgens
Then once you get your hormones balanced you can consider permanent hair removal like laser

How to lower prolactin?
To lower prolactin naturally, you must balance your hypothalamus which controls prolactin production - I developed a foundational hypothalamus support that my patients have been using with great success. You can learn more here genesisgold.com/genesisgold/
Otherwise you will need prescription medication called dopamine agonists
If it can be permanently reversed if the testosterone levels come back to normal with medicine and diet

But what if we do not have pcod or pcos like I get my periods on time I always have them so what about that??
Hirsuitism can still be treated with the same techniques
@@DeborahMaragopoulosFNP thank you so much 🥰❤️😍
Hi Doc is herutism dangerous?I'm now 38 and seems I'm having excess hair in my face
PCOS is characterized by unbound testosterone creating acne and male-like hair growth on your face and body. Testosterone is high because adrenal DHEA is very high in PCOS. All that extra DHEA converts to testosterone which stimulates hair in unwanted places - facial hair, chest hair, even a line of pubic hair extending up to your belly button. Extra testosterone increases your skin’s oil production causing acne on your face, chest, and back. While birth control pills are often prescribed to women with PCOS, the best way to lower testosterone naturally is to balance your hypothalamus and start ovulating. Balanced estrogen and progesterone levels are nature’s way of keeping testosterone in check. It’s tough healing your hypothalamus. That’s why I developed a core foundational nutraceutical hypothalamus support which has worked well to help my patients get back into balance. Here’s more information genesisgold.com/hypothalamus/
I need help doctor,the excess hair is embarrassing 😳 and I do my best to have a healthy diet.facial excess hair is truly painful to bear,also now I have learned about hormones I would love to receive the right treatment,but my GP 👩⚕️ refuses to refer me to endocrinologist,I am desperate for help,

No one ever discusses women who have had a “complete” hysterectomy , meaning uterus plus ovaries removal. Women who can no longer take hormone replacement medications. What can they do for unwanted facial and body hair ?

I am 21 year though my periods are normal I have extra hairs on neck ,chest ,nipple areas , Navel(abdoman). And have no idea how to get rid of them . please help for the same and suggest how to treat them
You’re describing hirsuitism. First you have to get your hormones in balance and then you can get permanent hair removal
My patients tight PCOS and hirsuitism get back into balance by supporting their hypothalamus- here’s more information genesisgold.com/balance-your-hormones/#hypothalamus-support
Since your periods are normal I doubt you have pcos. Body hair is NORMAL as long as it’s not excessive, I have like two little hairs on chest and a few around my nipples and my doctor told me it’s completely normal. I might get my hormones tested soon but I doubt anything is actually wrong me.
I have the same problem,thick hairs on neck are worse
Same! I literally have hair on every inch of my body except my elbow🥲.. fine in certain areas but thick in others.
@@laurenturner4592 I have always had normal periods and have been diagnosed with PCOS. Abnormal periods isn’t always an indicator.
Does waterfasting decrease testosterone?
Fasting can increase LH in no obese men. Pituitary LH induces testosterone production

Thank you
Doctor... I have facial hair on neck, chest, breasts and under chin. I take birth control pills and come to find out my estrogen is low, testosterone levels are normal but I want to continue taking the bc pills.. how can I get things back in balance?I heard zinc does well, what are you thoughts?
You can support your hypothalamus to get back into balance and continue taking birth control pills
@@DeborahMaragopoulosFNP how???
Hi, I am 38 years old suffering from pcos. Free testosterone - 0.83, Dheas- 139.8, Testosterone -25.64. What in here is causing acne and facial hair ?
What isn’t measured is DHT - dihydrotestosterone- a metabolite of testosterone - and the biggest trigger of hirsuitism and acne
PCOS responds well to balancing your hormones by supporting your hypothalamus genesisgold.com/balance-your-hormones/#hypothalamus-support
I understand exactly what you going through, i suffered same problem for 8 years not been able to get pregnant due to PCOS until i came across dr. isibor on youtube who gave me herbal supplement which i used and got curd in less than 3 weeks. now im pregnant and free from pcos
