Added 2023-01-11 21:57:14 +0000 UTCOne of the most common conditions I have seen over the last 8 years in my wax room women is PCOS - Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. It is a very common hormone problem for women of childbearing age. The symptoms of PCOS may include: * Missed periods, irregular periods, or very light periods * Ovaries that are large or have many cysts * Weight gain, especially around the belly (abdomen) * Acne or oily skin * Male-pattern baldness or thinning hair * Infertility * Small pieces of excess skin on the neck or armpits (skin tags) * Dark or thick skin patches on the back of the neck, in the armpits, and under the breasts * Excess body hair, including the chest, stomach, and back ➡️⬇️ Excessive body hair growth on unexpected areas of the body is known as Hirsutism and is not present with PCOS exclusively. It can result from excess hormones called androgens and hair growth is typically seen on the face, chest and back. I am thankful to be a safe space for women to open up to and share with their struggles. From what I have gathered, most women struggle with the physical symptoms of PCOS, such as weight gain, hair growth, and acne. Cosmetic treatments, such as electrolysis, laser hair removal or waxing may help you feel more empowered. Treatment for PCOS depends on a number of factors - these may include your age, how severe your symptoms are, and your overall health. Treatment for PCOS should be done with the supervision of a medical professional. Talk with your health care provider about the best ways to treat the symptoms that bother you ……….. and then come vent about it alllllll to your Esthetician <3
