Q: Please Xplain the Relationship Between Insulin And Hirsutism

asked by: msminnamouse on September 6th, 2007

Experienced User

I have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and I have Hirsutism. It can be genetic but no women in my family suffer from these two afflictions.

First, how does having P.C.O.S. increase your insulin levels or vice versa? I don't even know which way it works.

And how can having high insulin levels cause Hirutism?

What causes having high insulin levels? I'm not diabetic but what are the chances that I'll become diabetic? I'm 22. Does it have something to do with my cravings for sweet things all the time?
