Endocrinologist 's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for asking on HCM!
The most common cause of exessive hair (hyperandrogenism) is policystic ovary syndrome. It is often associated with irregular menstrual cycle.
To confirm the diagnosis you need;
-Ultrasound of the ovaries
-Testosterone level
-DHEAS
-17 OH progresterone.
Will be a pleasure to help you further after the above results.
Kind regards,
Dr.Mirjeta
