Male Pattern Hair growth without any detectable hormone imbalanc

[Guest guest]

Thank you for responding to my email/ post regrading male pattern hair growth

without any detectable hormone imbalances. I am sorry for the delay in my

response but I wanted to make sure I read everything I could before responding.

Here are the answers to some of the questions you asked. I have have gained at

least 30 lbs in the last 12-18 months. I do have a poor diet. I have eaten

refined surgars, flours, carbs and yes craved them as well. I eat animal

protein, but have decided to stop.I I have bloating and struggle with

constipation. I have had a steadily decreasing menses, it as gone from five

days to 1-2 days for the last 15 years or so. Recently my menstruation has

lasted longer, 4 days, but is still light. As far as Truncal obesity, I haven't

measured it but I definetly show the weight gain in the abdominal area. I do

have a sedentary lifestyle. I have definetly struggled with chronic yeast

infections and blatter infections for about six years. I have

had swollen feat only two times. I haven't noticed any significant water

retention otherwise. I wanted to let you know that the hair growth is not a new

thing but the weight gain is. I have gained a lot of weight steadily for the

past three years, but most of it has been within the last 12-18 months. My hair

growth problem began when I was in college. I had three or four dark chin

hairs. I was underweight then, about 107 lbs at 5'3. I had it checked out and

they at first said I had low estrogen levels, almost menaposal. This was when I

was about 19 years old. I also began having scanty menses then. I went from

about five days to three days in duration. They wanted to put me on the Pill

but I was always to harried to remember to talk it and I did not want to have

sex before marriage so that was not an issue. About six months later my

estrogen levels were fine on their own but the hair growth continued with more

chin hair. Then it stopped altogether or I did not

notice any changes for another five years. At that time my facial hair began

to grow and I had many chin hairs. The doctors simply said this happens to some

women or color. The hair growth went into another holding pattern or did not

grow rapidly for another 10 -15 years. When I got married at age 29 the hairs

began growing rapidly. I weighed only 107 lbs and did not have much abdominal

fat. However, my menstruation continued to be scanty even declining to about

2-3 days a cycle. I have since steadily gained weight and the hair growth is

growing out of control. I have almost a full beard and it is starting to grow

on my cheeks now. I have a significant amount of chest hair that is growing in

and this I am afraid to say has me extremely depressed. I thought there was

nothing more that could happen to me but I was wrong. It looks as though all

the hair on my body is going to go through another phase. All of my hair is

growing courser longer and starting to

curl? From the hair on my knuckles, arms, toes, legs, mustache, stomach,

sideburns...everywhere. Do you think it may be too late to stop this? I will

begin to loose weight and exercise immediately. I have started a colon cleanse

program and will look around for other types of cleanses, liver, kidney etc. to

detoxify my body. I'm not sure if you are in India, but I would like to go

through Pancha Karma. Can you recommend a place there. I would like to be

treated by a Vaidya if it is possible. Thank you for taking the time to read my

email/post. Please inform me of where I can look more specifically for some

internal cleansing. I have seen an an American practitioner and she informed me

that I my constitution is Vata and secondarily Pitta. I believe my vikruti is

primarily Vata. I have some tremors, vata insomnia, very dry skin, but I have

not seen any significant darkening of areas around the joints. I have some

liver spots I think, dark small circles growing

in various parts of my skin. I'm not sure if the Practitioner can help me with

this situation. Thank you again for your suggestions.

After going through all the answers posted by you, it appears that

you have advanced state of PCOS. IN PCOS, despite the name, it is not

necessary that one should have cysts in ovaries, but it is very clear

that androgens are driving the hair growth (hirsutism) and

irregular/scanty/un-ovulatory periods. Other glands may also be involved, as

glands work as an orchestra.

 

Using more than one liver detoxes, medicated oil/ghrutam bastis and

uttar bastis, and ayurvedic/panchgavya medicines based on bio-

identical hormones, the problem can be reduced to an extent where it

does not become even noticeable. Insulin resistance is the key target to

be attacked. Having witnessed the success of patient specific

panchkarma and medication in tackling these problems, author feels

that you should either seek some experienced (having relevant

experience) ayurvedist in neighbourhood, or visit India, where Panchgavya

medicines are available and also wide

choice of Vaidyas is available.

 

Since there is no single herb/home remedy/panchkarma treatment that

can tackle your total situation, you need to follow a guided

protocol.
