Men want facial hair and they don't get and some women have facial hair and they don't want it
Life is so unfair
So true😫😫😫
Same with lashes and eyebrows men always have the nicest ones... give them 2 us! Lol 😂
I'm a hairless guy that can barely even grow facial hair, and barely any leg hair and no body hair, it's from Native American roots, being Mexican. My girlfriend is jealous cuz she shaves her legs a lot. She's not super hairy, but she might be more hairy than me. SMH! We both have what we don't want.
Ifkr
@@CocoaGoddesss Girls sometimes compliment my eye lashes. I always thought it was a weird thing to compliment or even mention.
My facial hair is hereditary unfortunately. I need laser hair removal and can not afford it right now. This facial hair issue has completely stolen my confidence and I'm so insecure and just wanna hide in the house. I rather be dead than live like this! This is a real nightmare!
Yes thats exactly how i feel , wish there where something can do .
@@mirandab6195--- Big hugs to you!!! Insurance should cover the cost for permanent hair removal treatment. There's nothing cosmetic about the issue! Those of us that have to deal with this struggle didn't choose to have facial hair. I'm so over this struggle, been dealing with it since I was a teenager.
facial hair comes because of pcos .... and pcos is hereditary... pcos can be cured dont worry about it
I also feel same..😢
Do Not shave! The regrowth is fast and leads to bumps.
So happy PCOS is coming to the forefront! Keep talking about it!!!
I agree
Now we just need free laser. Laser is so expensive
Yasssss I feel so alone ughhhhhh
Yes
I have it and I also have the facial hair, not this extreme but it's there. I don't know what to do. what causes PCOS???
I was diagnosed infertile at 19, told was never gonna have kids never had a regular period, pretty much checked off all the symptoms of PCOS BUT last 2 months we celebrated my daughters first birthday conceived naturally with herbs remedies
I’m about to cry I’m 27 and I’m so scared that this is my case how do you find out if your infertile
Had suicidal thoughts after breakup with boyfriend because I suffered hirsutism, facial hair growth and on legs but thanks for Dr Isibor on youtube got rid of same problem with his herbs and body cleanser
#drisibor
What herbs plzzz
that's good congrats 💜🖤💚
SISTERS WHO HAVE PCOS PLS STAY AWAY FROM THE METFORMIN AND BIRTH CONTORL PILLS.. All we gotta do is stay active and eat clean whole food. It's not that difficult.
I just started gym (5 days a week - 30 mins a day) last year and lost 30 lbs. no extra effort. no pills. stay active and eat clean. those pills would give you cancer, lots of side effects in either short term or long term.
@@dilaralove6084 why do you say they would give cancer?
@@n.m.8627 those pills have a lot of poisonous matters inside. yes they fix some issues but in log term they give more issues.the relief is just temporary.
dilara güneş my doctor told me birth control pills will prevent me from getting ovarian cancer.
@@keekee7487 well, I am not a doctor. of course the doctors will tell the best for you. :) but what I am trying to say is healthy life style is better than any pill. cause those are just chemicals. who wants to put them in their body? I know some people who beat cancer without a medical treatment because they just eating very healthy. soo it worth trying sister :) your body is priceless :)
I pluck day an night and this interferes with my social life. Can't take it anymore
Damiana and passionflower loose leaf tea for hormonal balance and turmeric mask for facial hair
@@toniquewilcox5667 thanks I gonna try it
@@toniquewilcox5667 well my results...face is yellow 😒
@selena velez Even i have the same but I'm following this treatment again coz last time i got bored of doing it. Here's the method.
Ok I'm posting a video link here. This is for all the pcod women with coarse hair. So pls pls watch this video n do read the reviews abt each person how their facial hair is becoming thin n slowly vanishing with time. The secret ingredient used in this is wild turmeric powder but it is used with another main one which actually is the cause to thinning facial hair. I tried this out for few days n i noticed that my hair under the eyebrows had become thin almost weak. But then i felt lazy n stopped in between so it didn't help me coz i wasn't consistent with the treatment. Do watch it ladies n later thank me for sharing the link. Wild tumeric powder doesn't stain the skin n it's available on Amazon

@@ingridf5542 thank u so much . Watching it now......thanks😉
Thought I had PCOS but all my blood test came back negative ! This just runs in my family ! I notice that a lot of Caribbean women have this ! I use European wax center ingrown hair pads they work fine but it takes time ! Also exfoliate once a week, moisturize and use some kind of spot treatment . It’s hard ladies be patient
You can't diagnose PCOS with a blood test because it's a syndrome. There are a cluster of symptoms
I agree with this comment I have Caribbean in my blood and most of my friends have the same thing we all have kids
@@mascara1777 it is now recognized as a disease
Metformin did absolutely nothing for me, even at 2g a day. The pill has helped me with dysmenorrhea (and contraception obv) but not much else. My biggest help so far has been a lot of water, and as *little* carbs as possible that I'm almost keto (but not quite). After going low carb I have less bloating, I'm losing weight, I have energy, and my ovarian cysts aren't rupturing every few months.
That being said, my worst and most stubborn PCOS symptom is hirsutism and it just won't ease, even after laser hair treatments. I can grow my sideburns faster than my father can. My skin is fair, and my hair is coarse and dark, so it's quite obvious, which is quite depressing at times and really damages my self esteem. I gotta keep some humour about it though, otherwise I'd go crazy.
I sincerely hope everyone with PCOS reading this finds something that eases their worst symptoms. x
Whitney King Thanks, girl! 💕

Look up Barbara Hoffman’s utube channel on hormonal imbalances.
Also, Dr John Lee’s books on oestrogen dominance.
If you have PCOS NEVER user pulsed light hair removal - It will come back worst. So, you need to make sure you are using LASER hair removal.
Look up Chasteberry supplements. It helped regulate my period & they’re inexpensive. Order off Amazon.
Try myo d chiro inositol it helps with pcos so much . Search on Amazon n see the reviews
Having & living with PCOS is a nightmare...do your own research see what best works for you.
Typically if you’re still eating any processed man-made foods, you’ll still have facial hair. A clean diet means Whole Foods that aren’t created by man. The issue is the man made things we consume as well as hair products, makeup and skin lotions etc. throws endocrine system as well as hormones out of balance. No chemicals whatsoever is truly the BEST way to stop this.
I'm on an organic plant base diet and I still have facial hair :(
How In the hell do you go completely chemical free in this day and age? It's nearly impossible
Having neck hair is so embarrassing. One guy ask me did I use to be a man
I hate guys like that! The same happened to me ,
Damn, that’s my worse fear
Right my ex told me I was a boy 🥺
I’m so sorry that happened to y’all😔
Pronounced Van-Knee-uh omg that is so rude I'm having hair for my both side of chin and my doctor doesn't understand what's going on with me so😔
People doing electrolysis: Remember that you have to complete around 300 hours maybe more but it’s roughly around that time. I’m 6 months in and I’m not even 100 hours in yet, that’s only about 36 hours because sometimes when she doesn’t have a client after me she’ll give me an extra ten minutes. I go for an hour every week for $70. Also remember once you start it if you take a month off from treatments that’s a month “missed” meaning now you have to make up for that month. And that also gives your follicle time to heal which is bad because you want it to be dead and stay dead.. You have to be very consistent. My face is so much brighter it’s just the hairs that are actually dark, they are much thinner though. Just remember each hair needs a certain amount of time each to fully kill that follicle and whoever’s doing the electrolysis treatment is important too. (I remember one time my hair didn’t grow back for a whole month.) I did notice in that month though my diet was way better and I didn’t really eat any junk/sweets. Don’t do blend or shockwave either (they can give you 5 o clock shadow) just regular treatments. Its probably going to take another 4 years before I see a permanent result. I believe it in though my mother used to have this problem when she was younger and she completed her 300 hour treatments and they didn’t come back for atleast twenty years. It wasn’t until she gained weight is when it started to come back(I think she has pcos since weight gain can cause hairs) but even then if i could insert a picture I would. They are just like little peach fuzz hairs she’s light skinned too and they are not noticeable unless you know they’re are and are looking for them. I take saw palmetto every other day instead of everyday to slow down the growth because too much can give you bad gas and make you use the bathroom and depending on the mg. I’m going to start getting chemical peels to as well to see if that helps with some of the scars/hyperpigmentation from when i used to shave when i was younger. Keeping your face clean every morning and every night helps too. I used to do laser but all it did was cause more hairs to grow from spots I’ve never even had them in from before. I’m not sure if i have pcos or hiru because I didn’t go tested for neither. I do think it’s hiru for me because my periods are regular and aren’t heavy and I don’t experience much pcos symptoms. Don’t eat too much stuff with sugar I think hair and sugar got some type of secret relationship because those two things together is massive growth so I don’t eat candy a lot anymore I eat more fruits and I make yogurt with fruits in it with cinnamon and honey on top to give it flavor. If you must have sugar just make sure it’s brown sugar it’s way better for you than white. I drink a lot of tea too if you can’t take it plain just a little honey or a bit of coffee creamer too much sugar will ruin the benefits. For facial hair you should be drink SPEARMINT tea it’s hard to find but this is the tea you absolutely have to drink this is the only tea that’s good for facial hair. Don’t touch your face as much as you can to keep it clean all day. When it comes to problems like this it could be we have tooooo many male hormones in our body we need to find ways to balance it out. If you DO NOT balance your hormones every single thing you do will be completely pointless and ineffective, overgrown hormones are overgrown hormones you need to balance that out before trying to do anything like wasting money on electrolysis. What I do on a daily is this (Hormone balance pills, very consistent electrolysis, clean face all day 24/7, vitamin E or castor oil, drink a lot of water, I don’t eat a lot of meat as i used too anymore because they aid in hair growth, i eat as much fruits and veggies as I can everyday when it’s around, standing exercises for 20 minutes in the morning and night because exercising helps a lot, clean pillowcase) I hope this helps you girl.
thank you so much for taking the time to write this. Ill try saw palmetto and spearmint. Ive tried raspberry tea just to help my irregular period. I dont really have a problem with facial hair but I dont have the hair bumps under my chin a little but its no hair coming out of it but just to be on the safe side ill stop starch etc thanks
I was diagnosed with PCOS in my mid 20s after years of irregular periods/heavy periods/no periods and so many other symptoms, including hirsutism since I was a teenager. In my late 20s, I lost 160 lbs and kept it off for years. My facial hair never stopped growing. Even with my doctor prescribing spironolactone, I still have facial hair and am trying everything I can think of to get it to stop growing. I tried electrolysis, but only had enough money for three treatments and even then, it didn't slow the growth of any of the parts of my face she treated.
So yeah, people say losing weight will solve the PCOS problems, but imo, that's BS. It's sad that there's all kinds of technology to help men regain hair, but almost nothing for women to get rid of it. My doctor gave me a prescription for Vaniqua and when I went to fill it, I found out it's not covered by any insurance in the US and would have cost me $200-300 dollars per tube.
There is way too much wrong with this country (the USA) and with Western society in general. Condemn women who have unwanted hair, but then prevent them from trying to address it. What the hell?
This helps a lot , thank you.
My chin hair has made me a hermit. Bleach. Depilatory. Tweezing. Shaving. I will remove the hair then appx 6 hrs later it is already growing stubble. I gave up recently. I HATE leaving my home. One day I was so pissed. I tried burning it. DON'T do that!!!
AzoreanQween XO electrosis something it helps
Same problem 😭
Please believe me you're not alone. When I have those supper bad days I pluck, dress up and treat myself to something that makes me smile.
It’s okay
You can shave them with small shaving device
Cooking With Rila what kind of shaving device please?
- birth control made ALL my symptoms WORSE
Would be great to hear one day hey ladies who grow beards we have a cure.
Joan Ridgeway ikr
@@khandowando2399 all these people saying they want facial hair , yeah if ya a man its acceptable to have it or not have it. It's not even thought of being acceptable for a woman to have it. So many females have depression cause they are hairy. No matter what nobody can compare female with hairy face to people who dont have hair. They have no idea what women go through because of embarrassing hair. It amazes me they can cure cancer with direct procession to the area of cancer, can put people on other planets, make self driving cars, change a persons gender, but cant permanently kill unwanted hair growth. I think its bullshit they make to much money off it.
I agree!!!
They have one.. just not giving it out.. making too much money
Right
But birth control has so so mAny bad sideeffects 😩 not fair

Why?
What’s wrong with it? Been on it for years now and I love it. Before the pill I wouldn’t know when my period would come :/ very bad if you’re at work wearing khakis and your period comes and u don’t know because I barely have any symptoms honestly. No cramps nothing.
Exactly-that disturb me; a black female dr. Telling us to take BC to fix the problem 😒😒

The only upside to the mask!!! 😷😂
I am soo happy that people are talking about PCOS. This illness as been so stigmatized many women suffer in silence. And unnecessarily. Infertility is such a taboo subject.
One of the easiest ways to reduce testosterone in the body for women is through exercise. Something that was not mentioned. Diet helps but you need to train your body to keep the levels lower through daily activities.
@@alireardon6664 You can get your levels checked prior to starting but there are studies that back this. It decreases it for women and increases it for men.
@@alireardon6664 female
What kind of excercise
Thanks :$
i've heard the opposite tho.
I'm taking Birth Control and is helping a little, but they come with a lot of side effects. I definitely recommend to avoid carbs. It literally makes you feel 100 times better. The first days will be hell, but once you get use to, your body will thank you. PCOS is a horrible disease. Every day I felt more miserable. Eating healthy and exercise is a big help.
Pcos is a real problem and the hormones inbalance makes it worse.ur video really helped.
Pcos hurts me so much, i have been suffering since i was 13, I have to epilate\wax my face everyday, going to school and college with super dark facials hair and break outs and acne all over my face feels like hell, im 18 now and still suffering it gets worse day by day
Sprinkle Sprinkle heeey honey I used to be like you ! I suffered from facial hair for almost 10 years until i tried this product TRIA HAIR LASER REMOVAL!! Ohh best decision i ever made check my video to see results!!
Same now it's starting to grow dark and coarse and wirey under my jaw life sucks
Unfortunately, it is related to your Diet. If you eat Chicken (hens have hormones), diary, (cows are given hormones), caffeine and sugar=soda and coffee, you WILL have problems, especially hormonal. PLEASE DO NOT take Birth control pills for any reason.
Plz visit fittuber channel on TH-cam there was some solutions for PCOS..
In night for 40 to 30 minute do some excersize in moon night .. hope you get the best results...
Don't worry avoid tea coffee and use alum Rock after wax
I am hoping one day there will be a permanent solution to get rid of hair. 😔
Just eat healthy, excersice and lower stress, heal ur traumas. Might take time but u will heal
Winning answer!! 👍😄
That is true, Im a living proff
@@dominoplay3712
Did you really stop the hirutism?
@@intalmdr4627 yes. I went to laser to remove those hair that appeared while I wasnt well, but never had new ones come.
Also laser really helped with confidence, and that helped with self image.
My hair wasn't heredetary, but caused by hormonal imbalance.
But if you live in America, I can say that culturally it would be more difficult to you since everything is ment to be sold and Americans dont know nothing about diet. So please watch out for quick solutions, there arent any.
@@dominoplay3712
Thanks for replying to me
Spearmint tea up to 3 times a day for hirsutism. Saw palmetto and Rosemary oil/ rinse for thinning hair. Berberine and myo inositol for insulin✌🏽
My facial hair is caused by a hormonal imbalance that was caused by add hormones in animal products such as beef.
What should I do to treat facial hair?
Aya Abdo you could try waxing I do that and it helps but I would see a doctor to determine what caused it and how to get rid of it
mc
Use turmeric paste it's very effective. though it may not remove hair completely but control further hair growth,
To balance hormones drink spearmint tea,
Permanent hair removal methods
1) electrolysis (permanent, destroy s hair follicles)
2) laser (slows growth of hairs)
3) prescription creams( controls hair growth)
Yes I noticed it started when I was eating McDonald’s almost everyday
Really unfair that I took the hairy side from my dad, I look like a gorilla. Meanwhile my older brother took from my mom's side and look like a chicken, he's also having trouble growing facial hair and is taking pills and getting no results. Smh, I would like to trade my facial hair with him.
Thanks for sharing. I have had pocs from the age of 23.
I have been on bc for about five years now and it worked for me. I had terrible acne, facial hair, underarm hair, and sweated a lot. I had acne and chemical burn scars from years of experimentation with creams, tweezing, epilating and even laser hair removal. Nothing worked. The pill legit worked like magic for me. It took about a month before they kicked in but boy when they did let me tell u i was on cloud nine. I went from shaving every three days to tweezing thin small hairs once a month! It did lighten my periods immensely tho and it eased most of my menstrul pain, my periods used to b unbearable. The bc definitely worked for me so I encourage you ladies to try things out cuz it just might work for you. When I quit my job I lost my insurance and so I could no longer get the bc. I took up generic clinic bc and I can see the difference. My hair comes back every couple days and my acne is acting back up. I’m going to go back to an ogbyn and get back on the good stuff lol.
I'm in my mid 30s and have been experiencing chin hair growth since my 20s. I want to blame it on starting birth control and maybe discontinuing it sparked chin hair growth. I'm soooo self conscious of it! And grateful for wearing masks on some days when I forget to pluck or trim 😭 I desperately need to focus on low glycemic foods
Birth control did it for me aswell
Yes birth control pills jump started facial hair in me..wish i never started
Yeah birth control can trigger PCOS in some women. If you are concerned about losing weight too you could try out keto, it made me lose the most weight but be careful about over exercising and losing too much fat. I personally liked that diet (I'm a huge cheese and shrimp lover) but it gave me a rash and I had to stop. It really helps with cravings and is more forgiving (unless you have a sweet tooth). The worst that happened to my weight was that it plateaued during "cheat" days (still keto but ate the more self- indulgent foods.)
SAME HERE!!!! I also started LOSING hair on my head like crazy about 2-3 months in!!!
I would actually love someone to discuss this for people without PCOS

Thankyou so much for posting! I needed to watch this! I have PCOS Thankyou!
I have been on keto low carb diet for 1.5 years and I still have facial hair growth. I call BS on this as a dietary approach.
Yeah I'm a vegan. It's crazy
Wow
Just because you’re on a Keto diet doesn’t mean that’s all you need to do. Typically if you’re still eating any processed man-made foods, you’ll still have facial hair. A clean diet means Whole Foods that aren’t created by man. The issue is the man made things we consume as well as hair products, makeup and skin lotions etc. No chemicals whatsoever.
I knew it was the things that I was eating 😭
I have pcos and I really don’t know where I got it from. Nobody in my family has it but me. It sucks
It’s Justdidi - it’s nutrition. Eat Keto and it will go away. Watch Dr. Eric Berg videos.
consult your doctor start your treatment so trouble full
I don't think it is hereditary, it has more to do with hormones and lifestyle choices.
Same
Dear friends, nope. The latest research is that PCOS results from a gene abnormality in utero, and it does have a genetic component, in that if you have a member of your family who has it, you might inherit the condition.
It doesn't develop from lifestyle choices. Lifestyle choices can exacerbate the symptoms but the condition is caused by hormonal imbalances, in our case too much testosterone as compared to estrogen in the body. Puberty seems to trigger the symptoms, which makes sense because puberty is a time of big fluctuations in hormone levels. If you have PCOS and diabetes type II, as I do, PCOS can lead to developing diabetes through insulin resistance and weight gain. I don't have the exact number in front of me but developing diabetes is a real concern with this condition because a lot of PCOS sufferers become diabetic.
Following the dietary suggestions for diabetics has proven to be beneficial for most PCOS sufferers. Exercise is really needed too. I found Metformin helped regulate my cycles and helps somewhat with blood sugar maintenance and weight loss, but it might not work for everyone. Make sure to have abdominal scans to check for cysts on your ovaries, the classic major sign. I have a cyst on my right ovary that we monitor for ongoing problems.
My love and strength out to you, sisters. It's hard to live with a syndrome that is poorly understood, has bad and often embarrassing side effects, has no cure and which can lead to several serious conditions. But the important first step is to realize you even have the condition. Some 10 percent of American women have PCOS and don't realize that they do.
I have beard, mustache, sideburns I tried laser and oh man it grew places where it didn’t and thicker it he tried electrolysis and I am still stuck with them! But now I know just be content with how you’re made and thank God, it could’ve been worse
Facial hair is exhausting.I am going for a second round of laser now and hope 90% of it will be gone!
Very helpful 🏃🏾♀️
That’s me 👋 I get my neck threaded every week. I’m on birth control, but it hasn’t stopped the hair from growing.
Natural herbs has really created contentment in my life, totally free from Hirsutism after long time battle, you also need to have a comfortable life get to know the herbal doctor his medicine are really wonderful! dr isibor natural root and herbs helped me beat Hirsutism of 12 years in less than 3 weeks permanently 💯...
I've been on metformin for over 20yrs. I'm a diabetic who has PCOS. Metformin messed up my stomach so badly, and stripped my body of hair all over especially on my head. The only hair that has not been affected, is the hair on my chin. As a matter of fact it has actually increased significantly over the years. I have to do hair removal Everytime I'm stepping out of the house. And if I'm not going out, I do it every other day.
1aq
Take the medicine with oatmeal...
I’m so depress because of it 😭😭😭😭 but I’m going to try my best !!!

Ok so those are solutions for pcos hair growth. What about non pcos excessive body hair???
Thank you so much!
What I’ve learned is no amount of birth control will help you there are always side effects to certain treatments. What I think might be best is starting by eating the non-processed foods and modified with WHATEVER they put in the “foods” we eat. Eat better and then work your way to exercise. REMEMEBER to eat better before working out.
i wonder what is causing so many to have PCOS?
Doctors are just taught to prescribe medicine, that’s part of their education I have PCOS I do get a few chin hairs but not a lot I get it threaded like twice a month , I have a regular period. But I was prescribed Clomid to help ovulation. I literally took 1 pill and the side effects were horrible ! So I stopped ! I’m now on the natural route to help balance my hormones, from my understanding PCOS is just your hormones are off ..
What natural supplements are you taking?
@01:01 anyone gonna talk about the look the lady in the purple gave the doc? Idk if it was intentional or by mistake lol
I think she had a question/ thought and was about to interrupt but then caught herself and pulled back to be courteous. I do that all the time. 😄
I peeped that too🤫🤣🤷🏽♀️
Lol
Lol. @1:05. She even faked a smile when she felt the doctor was going to glance at her.
See the vedio and all some comments
I feel some relief it's not just only me who fighting with these problems..also some motivation that i can get rid off my problems with all root ... Girls we must ...💯
I have had facial hair so long, it just not a big deal to me anymore, this video has been informative though.
Natural herbal medicine have made my wife normal again and I'm so happy she was able to beat Hirsutism/hashimato couldn't believe at first but it worked for her, she had Hirsutism/hashimato for 3 years now, facial hair, acne, irregular periods I felt so sad she felt lot of pain until she came across dr isibor on youtube who prepared pure natural herbal supplement and body cleanser for her which she took and applied for 2 weeks to my greatest surprised everything disappeared! his herbs works perfectly well and no side effects. I can give his contact so you get the herbs and get cured permanently I believe it will definitely work for you too........
May God truly bless and remove all deases from our external

Amen.
I struggle with facial hair but since I started eating a low carb diet I have notice less facial hair growth
what carb do u consume?
I thought I was the only one having PCOS until I hear some women with the same it's not easy at all but we can't change the way we want to
They did NOT go further in depth about PCOS. They just gave symptoms, no causes or effects (long term or short term), or if this is a dangerous illness that can lead to death. Smh...this video only scratches the surface. I guess we gotta do our own research!
I've never been diagnosed with PCOS but I have been struggling with these symptoms since middle school. I've hid it for most of my life until I couldn't. My mom knows about it and so does my grandma but thats about it. I've had the hardest time with confidence and job hunting due to this issue. As of 2013 I've just distanced myself from social life all together. If I want to go do something as simple as visiting my grandma; I need to pluck for two weeks nonstop. Nair doesn't work, ( but I keep trying bc idk what else to do), and a changed diet didn't seem to do anything for me so I gave up for awhile. I'm tired of ruining my skin from shaving. (my mom has always told me to just stop shaving and the problem will go away, but I don't think she understands that I can grow a full on beard. Since nair doesn't work nor waxing my only option is shaving. Which I dont want to do.) I'm tired of running from people when they show up unannounced and I have facial hair. I'm exhausted with this issue. I want a job. Hopefully I can find a way to earn money so I can see if laser hair removal is my only option.
If you have any other options I should/could try please comment them.
Natural herbal medicine have made my wife normal again and I'm so happy she was able to beat Hirsutism/hashimato couldn't believe at first but it worked for her, she had Hirsutism/hashimato for 3 years now, facial hair, acne, irregular periods I felt so sad she felt lot of pain until she came across dr isibor on youtube who prepared pure natural herbal supplement and body cleanser for her which she took and applied for 2 weeks to my greatest surprised everything disappeared! his herbs works perfectly well and no side effects. I can give his contact so you get the herbs and get cured permanently I believe it will definitely work for you too........
im 16, and im I have the same struggle like you. I am Mexican and my mom says it’s jsut genes, but I know it’s not and I’m tired of living like this. I want to feel feminine!! I’ve done some research and I saw that soy based foods will help too
@@gyhrrrrr yh when i first told my mom she blamed it on our french ancestors lmao 💀 but if you can, before it gets out of control like mine has you should talk to your doctor about it at the next appointment. Having your mom hear from a dr that this may be a medical issue might help them understand. thanks for the suggestion !
@@agoraphobic_crawfish I did really recent and they assigned me birth control for my irregular periods, and possibly it’ll help less hair growth on my jaw. But after doing research on birth control and about this condition for months now, I don’t want to talk the pills :( I’ve tired to be healthy, but it’s on and off. I’ve been journaling and listening to self growth videos, and decided I won’t take the pills but instead try harder on eating healthy and working out more! For a month, and if my period still doesn’t come through or my jaw is still growing thick hair growth I’ll start taking the pills.
So nice
I never thought diet could help with the reduction of facial hair ❤
Aura Reid ....keto low carb women dieters still get facial hair
Paula There are other ways to lessen the testosterone levels that lead to facial hair... for instance licorice root tea & mint tea help a lot!
Yeah I'm a vegan and I'm suffering. I think my hormones and stress levels are out of whack.
@@TinasArtPage Thank you for the tea suggestions, Tina. I found medication, exercise and diet help with many of the symptoms but the hirsutism is still an embarrassing issue for me. I'm so tired of shaving. 😕
Do you have a recommendation for a brand of mint tea?
Buy a mint plant preferably organic. Wash all the leaves and dry them, crunch them up and add hot water, use a little honey or Stevia if you prefer for sweetness. Three times a day. Fresh is best.
Look here on TH-cam at Tumeric, milk, and gram flour for facial hair removal. You have to use it consistently, but it will help.
Ok so what ever am not doing no pills!!
Bo Love the pills helped me 😭

I’ve been tested for testosterone, hormones, and PCOS. I don’t have any of these, and it’s also NOT HEREDITARY! I need an explanation of why I suffer this issue! Over the years it’s definitely gotten worse and worse! I’m tired of being embarrassed I just wanna hide in the house most days 😢😢😢
Brown rice or rice in general turns into sugar. Metformin didn’t do a damn thang for me! 🤷🏾♀️
agreed. I think overall this isn't good advice. I think maybe excercise and overall health is the solution.
I can see other low glycemic foods being better for you.
I been on metformin a week and I'm sick as hell
Agree, eating less to no carbs helps.
Did you actually watch? She told the woman to stay away from white rice. There's nothing wrong with brown rice. The husk means the sugar will be released slowly into your system
Just found one tiny peace of hair on my chin and I freaked out so I snipped it a little
TFS! 💖
I have PCOS and Endometriosis...I am so thankful I was able to have my babies...
Every woman out there should not give up because i found a cure that finally worked for me on TH-cam #Drisibor Natural herbal supplement cured me from PCOS and totally free from hair growth and had my first baby with Doctor isibor treatment..
there are so many scientist in whole world they go in the moon and planets..they are invented many things...then why he cant help us.please help us thousends wonens and girls suffring from facial hair growth and pcod...aur life is like hell..sameless,, please invent some thing for us
Yes, always doing bullshit research but can't research on excessive facial hair on women.
This what im saying 😆. Like for real already
She was my ob-gyn and she diagnosed me with PCOS back in 2017
I've had problems for years it all seem to start around 12. I am 55 today and I guess you can say the hair growth on me is over whelming. Yes I had lots of testing done My Mom saw to it, but no answers not even birth control it made it worse. We gave up and I just live with the shaving the face and neck area everyday it is what it is.
Wow... have you tried waxing? I want to do laser hair removal.
@@ladybethisrael0792 Umm not for me I'd be in pain from head to toe lol and laser right now too expensive.
Any info on non PCOS related hair growth?
that's my photo on the far right
Contraceptive pills caused my unwanted hair. I regret it
Hlo sir plj tell me any medicine or tablets which are reduce facial growth
Hi Doctor OZ I have a problem with Facil hair I am 73 and it is so bad the I have tried so many things . I wish you can help me I really need it.thank you sooo much. I appreciate your help.🙏💯
I took metformin and when I tell you... my symptoms were absolutely intolerable. Nausea, motion sickness, loss of appetite, and mood swings. I became very emotional, and depressed at some point in time. I had to stop taking it, it was making me miserable, plus the medicine takes a while to kick in. I will say everyone is different. My experience just wasn’t pretty while on metformin.
It’s so strange how our bodies react so differently to the same thing. I had no side effects other than a bad acne flare up that is going down rn. I dropped the PCOS weight and the fatigue has also gone away
This is exactly what it does to me. Sigh.
The didn't talk about all of the terrible side effects of metformin or the pill they can really mess you up
TheChicago35 exactly
Yes and they are horrible.!
l know l was taking it made me so sick l just stopped and then told my doctor then she changed it.
Now I'm much better now.
how did it make you feel sick?
Exactly.
@@lisaayars7263 what did she change it to please? I feel sick for 30mins to 1 hour after taking each pill sometimes the doctor gives some drug to help cushion the side effects nonetheless, I'd like to know what you were given
How do you get diagnosed with PCOS?
Birth control is hormones..the pcos feeds on the hormones
I hear spearmint tea is good for decreasing facial hair.
Any scientific reference to that?
Just google it there’s a few studies done.
Vann Q I read that online couple of months ago, bought it but didn’t do anything for me.
Vann Q so will it just decrease facial hair growth? Will it decrease my brow and eyelash growth as well?
Hasn’t worked for me at all and I’m assuming it’s because I haven’t changed my eating habits much either. I have both the Spearmint tea and pills
Spearmint tea or capsules
All we need is good excercise and healthy food is gonna be a goal but we must try it its worth it
My facial hair is hormonal and getting worse but I can't get a doctor to do anything about it. I keep getting told that my blood tests look fine I'm within range for my levels; yet I have weight gain, facial hair growth, low to no sex drive, acne, night sweats, numbness or pins and needles in hands and feet, swelling in hands and feet, major cold sensitivity and very oily skin and hair. but my periods are fine. I have major depression and anxiety. I don't feel like me anymore and I can't get anyone to help me
I have facial hair I hate it!!!! It's hereditary and it comes from my mom's side of the family. I've tried everything from waxing, tweezing, shaving, bleach creams, elipator, and even electrolysis which does work but it is very time consuming and expensive. I just learned about this hair removal called "magic" shave powder and I've heard nothing but good reviews, I'm gonna try it out and see how it works. I just really want to get rid of the razor bumps and the ingrown hairs. I have coily thick hair so I'm more prone to ingrown. This is the only thing that interferes with my every day Life. Sometimes I ask God why me?!
nAj nicOle You are not alone! I totally understand how you feel... my dermatologist just recommended the Magic to me yesterday, I’ll try it as well!
how did it go?
I didn’t have facial hair problems until I got on birth control 😭
I was on video chat with my dad a few days ago, he saw my chin and told me to lift my chin I said no, this man gone loudly say you got a beard no daughter of mine gone have a beard.🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️then he proceeds to say after I told him I'm sensitive about it that he was sorry he jus couldn't believe I went to work looking dirty... I felt so low😔😔
stasha scott lol u lying
Millani Mo no ignorant af I ain’t talk to him for 2 weeks
stasha scott lol that’s messed up
Wow same thing happen to me
Nicki-Shae Thomas Thats sad how ignorant parents can be 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Honestly, the only that's ever helped me was the veet FACIAL hair removal creme. DO NOT USE THE BODY CREAM ON YOUR FACE OR IT'LL BURN. The facial creme is at Walmart in a pink package and the package comes with an aloe vera finishing creme to calm the skin after each application. This thing really WORKS !! Good luck 👍
Hello,
Does the hair come back?
@@ajablue651 yes it does but it's easily removable again.
Do the bumps go away?
Do you know what brand it is?
the hair removal cream doent work in black dark hairs...
My cycle was regular. By 42 I was in full on menopause.
The irony is, the hair on my head starting thinning and falling out. But the hair on my face and breasts grow like crazy!!!
God is definitely not FEMALE!!

One thing at a time dear! I have a mild case of lady beard. DYI Laser hair treatment worked for my case, I don't need to shave everyday anymore.
I used this one beauty-affinity.com/products/laser-hair-removal-handset-2-0 . It is much cheaper than going to a clinic. Good luck dear!
Change your diet - low carb diet or keto
I hate to bring this up but do you have cysts on your ovaries? That's the number one symptom. Please request an abdominal scan to check for cysts.
I had 8 of the 10 most common symptoms when I was diagnosed too so I know how you are feeling. First off, take a deep breath. Secondly, know that 10% of American women have this syndrome, so you will never be alone. This syndrome is triggered by a gene mutation that happened to you in utero, so none of it is your fault. It may be that someone in your family had had the same problem because PCOS does possibly have a genetic component.
Unfortunately there is no cure but PCOS can be managed. People try birth control and Metformin for symptoms. I found Metformin helped me but it doesn't work for everyone. Like a lot of people here I didn't like the idea of synthetic hormones so I avoided birth control pills. Metformin helped my cycles to become more regular but you can sometimes achieve that through diet as well.
But a big thing you can do right now is to exercise and move to a low-carb diet. The excess male hormone is telling your body to "bulk up" and that's what it's trying to do. The low carb diet will fight that tendency to add extra belly weight. I find planking helped to make my tummy trimmer as well. Drinking spearmint tea also helps to manage hormone levels. Managing diet and hormone levels can help not only with body issues but also with mood swings, depression and headaches. Working with an endocrinologist and nutritionist on your health care team can really provide knowledge and support.
I'm so sorry about the acne. I got that too. If your budget will allow for it, see a dermatologist for potential treatment or try a program like Proactive. I visited my dermatologist for several months and he was a godsend; treatments really cleared up my bad acne. I still struggle with facial hair growth but several people here have given me some new ideas to try.
Lastly for now, I recommend joining an online PCOS support group. The one I was in was great. Everyone shared valuable and helpful information and was so kind and supportive. They will give you ideas about what to try and what to avoid. And because they are going through the same thing, they know how you can feel isolated, embarrassed and hurt. I find keeping up with new research on the syndrome helps me maintain a sense of control over it too. And come back to us on this thread - we are here for you. Take it one day at a time.
I hope any of this might help you!
So how you prevent pregnancy, if no birth control, i have to take it.
It makes me feel uncomfortable
I used to drink mint tea on a daily, and that helped a lot, i even got my period 3 months in a row, which for me, I have PCOS, is kinda crazy. So, i did research, and it raised my estrogen levels. And, I think im going to start doing that again😂
What else did you do to increase your oestrogen levels
You have unwanted hair problem?
@@tee2470 that was the only thing i did.
@@dharmishthapatel8088 yeah. I stop drinking tea for some reason. So, thats where I'm at
Your facial hair problem was cure because of You have stop drink tea ????
i had an extreme decrease of facial hair when i ate clean, i did not need to shave it at all because it wasn’t noticeable anymore. nothing else ever helped me especially not shaving and i never have menstruation issues like cramps when i eat well at least the few days before and while my period - if i eat unhealthy things at that time i almost die of pain
Can you share what you changed in your diet?
@@sunflower5741 i ate whole foods, completely unprocessed : raw vegetables, lots of fruit, nuts, seeds and simple cooked vegetables, soups from lentils or potato and carrots 😊 i ate no wheat but oatmeal and also ate bread from nuts, seeds and oats, that might have been one point because the hair came back when i ate the wheat again (maybe because wheat‘s so often been genetically manipulated? i dont know) and even more hair grew when i ate milk and meat again i think that has to do with the growth hormones that are artificially induced into the animals to grow faster, milk and meat made the most difference the hair above my lips became really dark again, i dont exactly know why - i think not eating sugar also made a difference, i dont remember at which point i started eating that again but mostly it made a difference in my skin, i always get unhealthy skin from sugar, dryness and pimples and such
Awesome ideas! Brown rice, and sweet potatoes are delicious!
I have been on birth controls since i started my cycle . it doesn't work what so ever on facial hairs , now i have hair fall outs and that . can eating clean and exercise really help get things under control . please let me know ty
Taking birth control will mask your symptoms and NEVER get to the root of the cause of pcos
Some Questions to ask yourself if you are a woman dealing with a hormone imbalance
1. Do i have a belief that embracing my femininity is not okay?
2. Did i grow up feeling like being a girl wasnt okay in this society or in my family?
3. Do i think i am not able to nurture or embody what it is to have feminine energy?
I believe that once you change the beliefs you carry about yourself your body will change on its own.
Its all about perception manifesting into this physical world. Yes eating healthy can lessen the effects of pcos. But what will actually heal it is adressing your internal world.
Wow I don't have pcos but I have all the symptoms most importantly the beard.. I was raised knowing that everyone hated me born a girl they wanted a boy. Had to be so tough all childhood. Thanks for this insight.. in fact when I happen to be more feminine in my adult life I do feel better! Interesting
I had it since 13 and as i grow up, it's getting more and more. I used to not rlly care but since ppl started to started body shaming me in public then i gotta use mask every time i go out now. And i even had to cover my face in every pictures. My anxiety rlly raised up bcs of this facial hair. Why didnt i just shave? Well i did but it is tooooooooo much like a men and it grow fast so i kinda give up on it.
Jeongkookied pluck them (tweeze). I do that
Look up a recipe for women India used with tumeric. You see results faster and they will stop growing with each time you use it. I need to do it myself.
Aw :( maybe u will like sugar waxing. I am so sorry people treat you like that. Be confident jn who you are and I hope the hair won’t bother you anymore. Trust you will be loved and deserve as much love as anybody else. Have a great day ❤️
I've been there & I know it hurts, I'm not gonna lie & say it goes away because it doesn't, but eventually, you will be able to move on & some of those who shamed you will one day feel your pain, just wait & see.
@@ivee3999 actually i used to do tht but its toooo much to be pluck one by one
Excessive facial hair can lead to depression. I was told that a woman can get an actual disability check from this because it brings on depression for some. Im not depressed just annoyed. Thankfully I am dark skinned and someone would have to get really close up on me to notice. But, getting intimate with a man with a hairy chin is uncomfortable.
That's my Doctor
The hair issue gets worse after menopause:(
You ain't never lied
Nope
Im already 23 and this is an issue oh God help me 😩
June, that's interesting because in fact I'm having the opposite now that I'm post menopausal. My facial hair growth has slowed but what bugs me is that I'm losing my eyebrows. 😕
Noooo🥴🥴🥺🥺
I’m in high school and I have like a fairly dark peach fuzz on my lip and I’m so scared that I’m like not gonna get a boyfriend bc of it and it’s so embarrassing and some days it’s thin and some days it’s thick and it’s just a huge confidence killer
I have a mild case of lady beard and DYI Laser hair treatment worked wonder for my case. I don't have to shave everyday anymore.
I used this one beauty-affinity. com/products/laser-hair-removal-handset-2-0 . Way cheaper than going to a clinic Not sure about a more severe situation. Good luck dear!
Found out that it is fine to just shave my mustache and pluck the few dark hairs at the corners of my mouth. Doesn’t grow back any darker or thicker.
I get 1 beard hair as a woman and I start crying like I got a full beard
I used momate steroid cream which caused facial hair growth like peach fuzz ,
Is that hair temporary or not , if permanent, plz suggest me how to get rid of that
