Oh ... Does the laser treatment help? Yes, they have reduced in numbers, but it's not a permanent solution since this is a chronic hormone disease. They'll always come back.  I'll be needing maintenance treatment twice a year for the rest of my life if I don't want to grow a full beard, mustache and chin beard. Words aren't enough to describe how much I hate this syndrome. I swear, if I didn't respond to the treatment, my life would be over. I don't know much about this disease. You say it's chronic, but what when you go in menopause? Or when you have ovariectomy? |

You say it's chronic, but what when you go in menopause? Or when you have ovariectomy? I have no idea. Seeing a gynecologist in 1,5 months for ultrasound of my ovaries to check out how the cysts are, because last time I had multiple cysts on both my ovaries, hence the name poly cystic ovaries, and syndrome because I have hair growth, irregular periods, and easily gain weight. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycystic_ovary_syndromeOvariectomy, does that mean removing my ovaries, sterilizing...? No way. Maybe I should though, as pcos is the main cause of involuntary childlessness. I won't be able to have children anyways, or idk. Not that I've ever tried anyways. Lol. I should become a nun. 🙄😑😔 |

I guess it would be my first question if I got diagnosed with it. But I can imagine a lot of women have difficulties with the thought of getting ovariectomy. |

My previous neighbor got cancer in her ovaries and she was 23 and still managed to get pregnant and have a baby boy!
And this real deal cancer shit.
So Maren I doubt you have to do that just yet?? Talk to your doctors about the options??

This is an every day struggle to get rid of facial hair for me too. I usually don't care about it, but sometimes, I can't bear having people look at me because of that. I haven't found any permanent solution yet. I've always thought that it was because of my Latin American origins. Maybe it's hormonal? But my daughters are quite hairy despite of their young age, even more than my sons, who are older... 😔😔 |

Shoeeees.....
Same pair I had like 9 years ago.
They was always super comfortable and I thought they looked rad.
Hadn’t seen em forever, and came across a pair my size so I snatched em up.
😬

I haven't found any permanent solution yet. I've always thought that it was because of my Latin American origins. Maybe it's hormonal? But my daughters are quite hairy despite of their young age, even more than my sons, who are older... 😔😔 I feel you, and I am just the same. Before I started laser treatment, I would barely go outside, and sunlight and summertime used to be a nightmare. I couldn't even put my hair up in a ponytail or anything. Always kept my hair down to cover what I could, and wintertime and darkness was warmly welcomed by me because that enabled me to go outside again hiding behind scarf and beanie. I have heard that ethnicity can also be a reason as it is more common I'm afraid. India and Persian according to the cosmetic salon I'm receiving treatment at. But yes it could also be hormonal, as elevated male sex hormones is common in those with pcos. Mine was elevated, in addition to the cysts on my ovaries. I'm sorry to hear about your daughter's and their struggle, I really understand. It's no fun being a girl and have facial hair. As far as I know, pcos could be heritable, scientists haven't figured out why it occurs yet, but it could be latent and "triggered" when hormones start being produced during puberty. In my case, I started gaining weight after I was 15, and my periods have always been irregular, which is also a symptom. I would suggest that you read about it, and if it is an option, I can recommend diode laser, as it is more effective than wax or IPL (light treatment) However, if it is because of ethnicity, you probably won't have the hairs growing back as fast as it does for me, seeing as your male hormones are most likely to be normal. Note that if you are having blood tests, they need to be done specifically on period day 2-3, according to my gynecologist to show indication of the elevated testosterone. |

Talk to your doctors about the options?? Getting sterilized is not an option, even if I'm not planning to have children. Besides, pcos puts me at high risk for having problems getting pregnant anyways, due to the fact that I don't ovaluate that often compared to women without this syndrome. I'm a member of a fb group, and a common topic is women being heartbroken because they aren't capable of becoming pregnant.. And many of them have tried for years. I'm 30, I'd be in a hurry tbh. And seeing as I most likely won't have a bf any year soon, I've kind of accepted it already. However,(tmi) my period has gotten way more regular now, than it was 2 years ago, but then again I was also 30 kg heavier. 😣 Could be the reason. |

I don't think it would be a hard decision for me though, as I've more or less accepted the fact that I'll never have children. But having them there, the ovaries I mean, is kind of part of me being a woman, and even if they are a real pain sometimes, I wouldn't want to remove them. |

Yeah, I was just wondering if that could be the solution to the syndrome. And it's pretty drastically. I told my bf and he also asked that it would be a solution as it's a disease that's to do with hormones and stuff. I can understand that most women have major difficiles with the thought of it. |

It got me curious, I think I'll ask my gyn when I see her in June. You're absolutely right, if the reason was good enough, then I might consider it. For instance; if I had cancer and removing my ovaries was the only option for survival, I would do it in a heartbeat. But, for pcos ; I'd rather keep them. Seeing as testosterone is produced in the pituitary gland, which is in the brain ? |

I also though it was produced somewhere in the brain ... I'm kinda curious what your gynecologist says about it ... |

I bought Swedish liquorice, chocolate, knäckebröd, tea, cookies, candy etc etc etc for +100 euros to bring to my friends. HAHA. I'm fucking stupid not to think about if it's gonna fit or not, hahahah. So I bought cabin luggage on wheels too to make it all fit - glittery and shiny matching my big luggage  WOOP WOOP! |
