Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It is important to decide what is the cause of your excess hair growth. PCOS is just one of the cause and several other disorders should be ruled out before concluding it as PCOS. I would advice you to meet an endorinologist . They will have to examine you and decide what type of tests are required. You also need to keep your body weight in healthy range and indulge in regular exercise.
Diane is an oral contraceptive pill which helps to reduce hair growth, But there are several other treatments available based on your profile. Please visit my blog www.ovarypolycystic.blogspot.in for better understanding. You can also ask me a question directly in the premium section.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Binu Parameswaran Pillai
