Best hair growth inhibitor

Answer 1

If by "hair growth" you're referring to hirsutism, which is growth of hair on undesired parts of the body, then the cause of the problem needs to be found before an effective treatment is started. For this reason, you should see a doctor.

In females, the most common cause of hirsutism is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). PCOS is a bit of a misnomer, since it isn't really a problem of the ovaries in most cases, and doesn't always involve cysts on the ovaries. It really should be called obesity-related amenorrhea. What happens in PCOS is that being overweight causes an excess of estrogen in the bloodstream. This is because fat cells produce estrogen. This excess of estrogen fools the ovaries into thinking that you're pregnant. So you miss periods. This can result in breakthrough bleeding. A certain amount of the excess estrogen gets spontaneously converted to testosterone (the male hormone). This is what causes the growth of hair in undesired places. The solution to PCOS is:

1. Lose weight

2. Take Birth Control pills (to correct the hormonal imbalances)

3. Take metformin

4. Remove the hair (because once the hair has grown it won't go away unless removed)

Hair removal approaches include elecrolysis (removing each hair individually with electricity) and laser surgery. The best doctor to see for this purpose is a dermatologist, who can tell you what all of the options are.

But don't bother removing the hair without treating the underlying cause, or more hair will grow.
