I think I'm lacking in estrogen, a lot. Or I have a hormonal imbalance. I have annoying facial hair that takes me hours to pluck, plus I have to shave daily. I wish my daily routine could be effortless. I never wear my hair up due to my gross sideburns. I am on birth control right now, but its not helping me any way (only preventing pregnancy, lol). Is there any kind of herb I can take that will make my hormonal levels be normal. I'm only 18 years old, so its not menopause..and my mother doesn't think this is a problem at all..so I can't go to the doctors. Should I talk to my gyno or my normal doctor? Ugh, I don't know what to do. I don't want to get expensive laser treatments because I'm scared they won't work. I just want to be less hairy. I shave everything and it takes forever!

Ok I looked up hirutism and I'm not THAT bad. Just light annoying hairs that piss me off..mainly my sideburn and chin areas. Sometimes I'll get a loooong black strand of hair growing out of my neck area. My boyfriend noticed it one day and was like 'Wtf?' It's embarrasing.

Talk to your Gyn. She can give you medication for the hair growth (Spironolactone).

shaving u cant stop it. But im sure u know everytime u shave it will get more thicker and darker. Nothing can prevent these hairs of yours. If the laser treatment dont work then u can get ur money back no problem. just go to a doctor about this
