Excess hair growth treatment

The thyroid diseases are one of the most widespread endocrine diseases, conceding only to the diabetes type 1. The thyroid problems negatively affect the whole organism; that is why it is important to visit the endocrinologist if the first symptoms appear.

The excess hair growth can be indicative of the presence of the tumor or infectious disease of the brain or other organs; that is why when the similar symptoms appear, you need to urgently undergo diagnostic examinations. The genetic predisposition, adrenal, ovary and pituitary disorders can be also the cause of the excess hair growth. In rare cases, the excess hair growth develops as the reaction to the intake of certain medicinal preparations.

For excess hair growth treatment, you need to undergo the examination of the endocrine organs:

• ultrasound of adrenal glands;
• ultrasound of thyroid gland;
• MRI of the pituitary gland;
• blood hormone test (testosterone, cortisol, TgAb, dihydrotestosterone, all sex hormones).

The infections, tumors or traumas of the brain can be sometimes the cause; that is why simultaneously with excess hair growth treatment, you need to get rid of the disease, which caused the excess hair growth. In view of these causes, in some cases, the treatment course can last from half a year to one year.

The excess hair growth treatment is, first of all, aimed at suppression or full ceasing of the excess hair growth by male pattern. You need to resort to the cosmetological procedures for eliminating the already existing hair, for example, laser epilation.

The excess hair growth causes the significant discomfort and disturbs the everyday life of women; that is why if the first signs of this disease appear, you should apply to the doctor immediately.
