Hello,
As per your symptoms, you seem to be suffering from hormonal imbalance with a likely increase in male hormones(the cause of unwanted hair); the most common cause of this would be polycystic ovaries. You should see an endocrinologist for a complete hormonal profile, thyroid profile, DHEAS levels, AMH, Glucose tolerance test; see a gynecologist for a complete physical evaluation and a pelvic sonogram. Meanwhile try to reduce weight to achieve a BMI of 19-25, do some regular daily exercise and avoid eating fast foods and fatty fried food. Include lot of fresh fruits and vegetables in your menu. Please consult your doctor for further instructions. Take care.
