I am a 28 years old woman and I am obese. My weight is 95 kg and my height is 5 feet 4 inches. I have had facial hair for quite a few years. Five years ago I got my hormones tested including thyroid and all were in the normal range. I opted for laser hair removal. Even after eight sittings, do hairs grow back in a few months? Is my weight not decreasing?

Persistent facial hair with obesity may suggest underlying hormonal imbalance like PCOS, even if old tests were normal. Laser helps, but recurring hair may mean a deeper issue. Retesting now can give clarity. Few tests like Free testosterone, LH, FSH, Insulin Fasting, USG Pelvis can be done.

Take a Testosterone Free Test Test or Take a FSH and LH Test Test
