PCOS Hirsutism - Homeopathy Treatment (Reverse Naturally)

Dr. Sanchita Dharne

Homeopathy treatment for PCOS hirsutism is a proven natural holistic treatment procedure.

PCOS hirsutism is a condition in which women grow excess hair on their face, chest, stomach, or back. The problem is deep-rooted. Cosmetic measures can be of little help in providing long-term results.

PCOS hirsutism can cause a woman to feel embarrassed and uncomfortable with her appearance. About 30% of PCOS cases have this problem of PCOS hirsutism, which makes it the most common PCOS symptom in women.

This can be caused by high levels of male hormones called androgens in the body. Androgens are usually present at low levels in women, but they're higher than normal in women with PCOS. They cause hirsutism as well as other symptoms such as acne and thinning scalp hair (androgenic alopecia).

Homeopathy treatment for PCOS hirsutism helps to reduce the amount of androgens produced by the ovaries which reduce or eliminates unwanted facial hair growth. The homeopathic treatment also helps balance hormone production so that there is no further increase in male hormones which will prevent future outbreaks of hirsutism from occurring again. Homeopathic treatment for hirsutism works without any side effects or risk factors!

What is PCOS Hirsutism?

PCOS hirsutism is excessive unwanted growth of hair in women with PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome). Excessive body and facial hair- especially above the lip or chin, but also along the jawline can be caused by PCOS. Hirsutism in PCOS may make it more difficult for some patients to become pregnant because of anovulation, or infrequent ovulation.

Hirsutism may also be the result of an underlying hormonal imbalance such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. In addition, hirsutism may occur due to medication use, such as steroids or other drugs that change hormone levels. Androgens are hormones related to male sex characteristics. They include both testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). The menstrual cycle usually regulates androgen production from the ovaries and adrenal glands into a state of equilibrium called homeostasis. However, some conditions, including PCOS, Cushing’s syndrome, and late-onset congenital adrenal hyperplasia; may disrupt this homeostasis.

 

How Does PCOS Cause Hirsutism?

There is a long list of factors that cause PCOS hirsutism. The most common reason for PCOS hirsutism is - genetics. This means if your family members have history of hirsutism, it increases your chance of getting the same.

High levels of androgens or high insulin levels can also lead to PCOS hirsutism. In addition to that, the presence of insulin resistance leads to accelerated androgen production from ovaries as well as increased free testosterone levels.

In PCOS, ovaries make increased amounts of androgens, which are also called “male hormones”. In overweight women with PCOS, it is thought that insulin resistance may play an important role in excessive hair growth. Excess insulin production stimulates the ovaries to make more male hormones. Excessive insulin also leads to increased growth of the cells in the hair follicles, causing them to become thicker and producing thicker hairs.

Symptoms may be exacerbated by obesity because excess body weight increases those hormones which cause hirsutism. It is a great idea to drink lots of water and eat a healthy diet that has a variety of lean protein and high-fiber foods.

 

Symptoms of PCOS Hirsutism

PCOS hirsutism symptoms - facial hair, hair fall, hair thinning, hair on chin, male pattern hair growth.

Find below list of common signs and symptoms of PCOS hirsutism.

  • Unwanted hair growth: The most common symptom of hirsutism is the presence of excess hair growth on parts of the body where men typically grow hair, including on the face, chest, and back. Some women also have unwanted facial hair which can develop even when there is no excess hair growth on the body.
  • Acne and oily skin: Acne and oily skin are also common symptoms of hirsutism, as well as acne vulgaris, which is a long-term condition that causes spots to develop on the face, back, or chest. These can be severe enough to cause scarring if they are not treated properly. Oily skin and hair can be caused by increased production of the male sex hormone testosterone.
  • Skin tags in the neck area and the armpits: In PCOS hirsutism skin tags in the neck area and armpits can appear. However, symptoms of skin tags are non-specific and may be easily confused with symptoms that accompany other conditions such as acromegaly or hypothyroidism. Skin tags can also develop as a result of obesity, although they are less common in people who maintain a healthy weight.
  • Patchy red or dark brown discoloration: In rare cases, PCOS hirsutism may also cause patchy red or dark brown discoloration of the skin. This is known as acanthosis nigricans and is characterized by darkened, velvety areas of thickened, pigmented skin that can appear around the armpits and groin.
  • Weight gain or obesity: Weight gain or obesity can also be a symptom of hirsutism in PCOS, especially for women who have insulin resistance. The changes in hormones that occur with PCOS can result in a rapid increase in weight, which is related to the accumulation of body fat.
  • Mood swings: Mood swings are another possible symptom that may occur with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Women with this condition often experience depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders that may require treatment.
  • Irregular or absent menstrual cycles: Symptoms of PCOS include irregular periods, which means the body does not ovulate every month. This is typically caused by problems with insulin resistance and can also contribute to fertility issues in women who wish to become pregnant.
  • Symptoms at severe stage of PCOS hirsutism: At the severe stage of hirsutism, symptoms include high blood pressure, sleep apnea, cardiovascular disease, type-II diabetes, baldness, breast reduction, increased muscle mass, and enlarged clitoris.
