PCOS Medicine Explained: The Pill, Metformin, Letrozole and What Else Helps
PCOS treatment is not one pill for all. If your main worry is irregular periods or acne, the first medicines I reach for are hormonal contraceptives.
Hirsutism Treatment in Lahore
Hirsutism treatment in Lahore is care for coarse, dark, male-pattern hair on a woman's face or body, given at Diabesity Solutions by consultant endocrinologist Dr. Rizwan Niazi. This hormone-led care finds where the extra androgens come from, whether the ovaries, the adrenal glands or PCOS, using blood tests and an ultrasound. Its treatment slows new growth by dealing with that source, since laser and waxing remove hair already grown but leave the androgens untouched.

Why Excess Hair Points to a Hormone Problem
Hirsutism means coarse, dark hair growing where men usually grow it, and it points to raised androgens that need checking.
The usual places are the upper lip and chin, the cheeks and sideburns, the neck, the chest and around the nipples, the lower abdomen, the back, and the inner thighs and buttocks. Normal body hair in women is fine and light, so having a little more than average is a different thing.
Androgens come from both the ovaries and the adrenal glands, and a problem in either can start the extra growth. Often the imbalance is subtle and shows only as hair growth, weight gain or irregular periods.
Which Doctor to See for Excess Facial Hair
An endocrinologist, because the hair follows a hormone problem that blood tests can find.
Dr. Rizwan looks for the hormonal root and builds a plan around it.
What Causes Hirsutism in Women
PCOS is the most common cause, and the others are adrenal overactivity, idiopathic hirsutism, thyroid imbalance, some medicines and, rarely, a tumour.
Idiopathic hirsutism means hormone levels are normal but the hair follicles react more strongly to androgens. Some medicines raise androgen levels as a side effect. Ovarian or adrenal tumours are rare, but they have to be ruled out when hair appears suddenly, fast or severely.
Not every woman with PCOS has hirsutism, and not every woman with hirsutism has PCOS. The two are closely linked, because the ovaries in PCOS make extra androgens that set off male-pattern growth, so they are usually investigated together.
Hirsutism Treatment in Lahore Begins With Androgen Tests
The tests are total and free testosterone, DHEAS, LH, FSH, prolactin, thyroid function, fasting insulin and glucose, sometimes cortisol, and an ultrasound of the ovaries and adrenal glands.
A full menstrual and medical history is taken before any treatment starts, and the results together point to the source of the androgens.
What Hirsutism Treatment in Lahore Can Change
Treating the cause slows new hair growth over months, while hair that has already grown does not disappear on its own.
Depending on the cause, treatment is hormonal therapy that lowers androgen activity, or medicine for PCOS or an adrenal problem, and each option is explained before you start. Where weight is a factor, losing some can lower androgen production over time.
Hormone levels are rechecked at intervals and the plan is adjusted as you go. How far the hair settles depends on the cause, and with proper management most women see a real and lasting improvement.
