Is There a Natural Remedy For PCOS?
The pain, frustration and even danger of having PCOS are largely ignored by mainstream medicine which has no clear answer or solution to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. The harsh drugs that can be prescribed and the lack of direction by many doctors has led to many women asking is there a natural remedy for PCOS?
Before we can delve into remedies we need to make clear what we are dealing with. PCOS is an irregularity of the ovaries that one in ten women suffers from, that causes serious hormone imbalances. A PCOS sufferer has increased levels of male hormones known as androgenic hormones which includes the most commonly known one testosterone and many others. Women's bodies are not designed to handle too much of this hormone however and it can seriously effect many parts of the bodies chemistry and workings. Known symptoms of PCOS include:

Time for you to start shaving.
Yes, it's a moustache -- some girls develop a moustache, just like boys do.
Facial (and also body) hair on women comes about in the same way as on men because of
1) your body being sensitized, before you were even born, to testosterone -- doesn't happen to all girls, but does to many
2) your body producing high levels of testosterone
The growth rate and coarseness of the hair depends on just how much testosterone is circulating in your bloodstream.
Steer clear of bleaching -- when someone sees you against the light you'll look as if you have a glowing moustache. Believe me, it shows up far, far worse.
As far as removing it is concerned it's worth remembering that
* Waxing, plucking, threading, epilating all pull the hair out by the roots and where the growth is hormonally-driven can actually stimulate a dormant follicle into producing more hair quicker. They also distort the root if done repeatedly, leading to hair growing at strange angles. And you've got to let the hair grow to quite a length before you can repeat the exercise. It can also damage the skin and discolor it. Long-term use of waxing also causes bad wrinkles.
* Chemical depilatories strong enough to remove the hair are very likely to burn the skin, cause swelling and cause long-term discoloration of the skin.
* Laser is also liable to cause burning and discoloration and in any case only works effectively on a dark hair/light skin combinantion.
* Electrolysis is very liable to cause scarring and discoloration of the skin.
Which, like it or not, leaves shaving which does not damage the skin and does not cause the hair to grow more or coarser or faster. Best done with a men's-style electric razor, the best of which, for girls and women, are probably those from the men's range of Philips/Norelco razors (Philishave outside the US). Most girls and women who try a men's Philips/Norelco wonder why nobody ever told them about it before.
Yaz may help to reduce the amount of facial hair by making your hormone balance a bit more like that more common among females, but only for as long as you keep taking it.
Do not start shaving!!
I have IPL as I have PCOS, a form of laser, its not very painful %26amp; evtremly effective.
Or bleach, or wax, but you cant do this when having IPL as the hair needs to be brown at the root.
