Do you have issues with excess hair in other areas too, such as the face or around the navel? You might have PCOS. Its a gyneacological disorder caused by a hormonal imbalance when a woman has too much testosterone and starts having problems with acne and hair growth. You could try a birth control pill, the added estrogen might help fight the extra testosterone you might have but see a doctor and have your hormone levels tested first. Also, if you pick a birth control pill be wise to ask what kind of progesterone is used in that particular pill. Drospirenone in Yaz has a slightly higher risk of increased blood clots but it effectively combats extra hair growth and acne. Norgestrel in pills like Ovral is potent and has the longest half life and is most effective with preventing random bleeding or spotting but it can actually aggrivate disorders like PCOS. The type of progesterone (norgestrel) is a high androgenic one which means it is similar to testosterone.
