Brief Answer:
hirsutism evaluation

Detailed Answer:
Good day.
Noted your concern.
Your symptoms of male hormone excess is not due to thyroid hormone excess. We need to investigate the cause for that. There are many reasons for excess hair growth in a woman. Many hormonal disorders can cause it. Polycystic ovary syndrome is the commonest cause. On the third day of your periods, you may need few blood tests. Please refer to my blog www.ovarypolycystic.blogspot.in

I have listed out causes and investigations of hirsutism.
