Why am I so hairy????

Question

I can’t express into words how incredibly hairy and disgusting I am and feel. I know what most of you are going to say, I shouldn’t be ashamed of my hair, but I am not because of others just because of me, idc about anyone else or how they see me I care about what I see and feel. I am way too hairy for a women at age 19. My ass hair is a fucking jungle. I have a fucking mustache and beard! I need help and opinions on what to do. Here’s some pics. Warning they are very disgusting

Accepted Answer

Have you seen an endocrinologist? You might have pcos

Answer

Shaving does NOT make hair grow back thicker or darker, it just appears that way because the ends are blunt, not tapered off like if you waxed them. You can wax with hot wax instead of strip and it will be more gentle and prevent your skin breaking out. Ipl or laser is an option even with pcos because it will dramatically reduce your amount of hair, don’t be ashamed, it’s so normal, I see many ladies just like yourself and they have great results with waxing and ipl.

Answer

I would definitely start at the OBGYN and see where they lead you. This could be an indicator of an underlying issue that you should not ignore. I understand how frustrating this can be, I hope you can find some answers.

Answer

I am equally as hairy as you except my hairs are even thicker and darker. We’re in this together. I went to the endocrinologist and got blood work done and nothing shows any unification of PCOS or weird hormone levels. I’m devastated bc I’m the only one in my family with this problem and it gets in the way of intimacy. Hang in there ❤️

Answer

It’s sounds like is could be Ploycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). I just got diagnosed with it about a month ago, so I’m not quite an expert yet, but maybe I can help lead you in the right direction! 
One of the signs of PCOS is excess body hair, mostly in places that males get excess hair (face, chest, etc.) Other signs could be irregular periods, cystic acne, and weight gain (I had all of these symptoms). 
Basically, your ovaries aren’t releasing eggs properly, or not at all. 
PCOS is fairly common and there are ways to treat the symptoms! I started taking medicine for my acne, birth control to regulate periods and help with facial hair, and another medication to help with my insulin levels. 
I suggest you look up PCOS and see if you have any of the other symptoms. Then talk with your doctor about it! :)
I’m no doctor, but hopefully this is helpful to you to get on the right path! Good luck!!!

Answer

I would see a doctor about it first and get a proper diagnosis. It could possibly be related to your hormones. I would suggest waxing, the hair will take longer to grow back versus shaving. Don’t be so hard on yourself.

Answer

This could be from PCOS. I have it, and it hasn't been a symptom for me, but for my cousin its a big one. She has to shave her face everyday because of it. I recommend seeing an endocrinologist.

Answer

I would see a doctor. It would be one thing if it was just your legs or arms. Not everyone is hairy the same way. But facial hair on a female your age is usually a sign of a hormonal issue.
