Unwanted Hair and Hirsutism: A Book for Women Paperback – July 31, 2012

Ms. Amoroso's book is well-written, accurate and up-to-date. She discusses all of the existing medications and technologies for ameliorating the side effects of androgen excess disorders. A must-read for anyone suffering from hirsutism or other symptoms of androgen excess. Well Done!

I loved this book although, I challenged some of the information in it and was inspired to research further. I recommend it as a way to understand the why as well as the emotions that are involved with excessive hair growth. Great job!!

Unwanted Hair and Managing Hirsutism: A Book for Women is a must-have book for any woman who has questions about excess or unwanted hair. What happens after the first time you shave your legs or your eyebrows? How did you get those pesky hairs on your upper lip or on your chin? What are the causes and treatments for hirsutism? Explore the biological changes and phases of hair growth from birth to midlife: from fuzzy baby hair to coarse hair, excess hair, and no hair growth at all. Monique proudly announced that she did not shave her legs for the Oscar's while many other celebrities undoubtedly got Brazilian and eyebrow waxes. What do you think about the pervading culture of hair removal? This book is an excellent resource for mothers to share with their daughters; for individuals with hirsutism and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS); and for those who want to know the differences between waxing, tweezing, shaving, bleaching, body sugaring, threading, laser treatment, and electrolysis. Learn how to embrace and manage your unwanted hair and the right questions to ask doctors, hair removal specialists, and, most importantly, yourself.

This author really relates to the problem solving that needs to be done for POCS. Well worth the money! Thanks!
