What is the treatment of excessive body hair?

Hirsutism may arise from excess male hormones called androgens, the key hormone being testosterone, or it may be due to an ethnic or family trait. You won't know what you're dealing with until you see a doctor.

It can be cause by Polycystic ovary syndrome, Cushing's syndrome, Congenital adrenal hyperplasia, Tumors, Medications, but sometimes there isn't an identifiable cause, so it's important to see a doctor.

Some doctors use lasers for permanent hair removal, but your doctor may want to treat the condition orally, so see him/her first.
