I have dark hair on my stomach and lower back and it really is restricting, I can't wear certain things and I'm always so self concious. My GP was actually quite nasty about it when I went. I asked about trying Dianette, a contraceptive pill which is supposed to reduce excess hair. My GP gave me the perscription but said it wouldn't work because it wasn't an medical issue. I was only 14 or so and sat there in tears because i felt so humiliated after showing her the thing i was most embarrassed about she basically laughed at my naivity.
Anyways, enough about my sorry past. Other than looking online I don't know what to do. Maybe get your hormone levels checked by another GP or nurse. you can request a different doctor I'm sure. I suspect hormones might be to do with my problem, because my mum doesn't have the same problem, neither do any other women in my family. But I, like you, don't fancy going back. One, if not both of us should be brave! With that, I'll end this essay!
omg morrisonker, that is terrible, i think that people shouldnt be doing that profession if you are so bleeding heartless, ooh your post has made me mad!
Back to the topic, my gp gave me dianette and to be honest it didnt help with my hair, i use wax to get rid of my hair, it last longer and i dont rash, on my tummy i use cream.
Please change your gp (both of you) if you can, especially if you know there is something wrong, everyone has the right to be treated in a serious manner by their gp, not made to feel like you are being silly, you are not, its a serious issue and is obviously causing distress, as mine did until i was diagnosed.
Good luck both of you x
Can only add equal measures of sympathy and advice - your GP sounds unsympathetic, which to me is as vital a part of the job as the training and experience - find a nice woman GP who has a bit more heart.
It does sound hormone-related though, so some further tests may well help to reduece or eradicate this condition for you.
For once, none of the numptys who like to stretch their 'humour' muscles have posted on here - if anyone sees anything other than helpful and sympathetic responses before I do, tell the ED! Thanks.
Aww, you guys have been great. I did have a female GP, what's more I went in with my mum who was fuming at the way she talked to me, but again, it's in teh past.
I'm just going to try and live with it until I can afford laser hair removal. My boyfriend is a sweety and honestly can't see the problem, it's just the way I am in his eyes *loves him*. I have enough bother with the hair on my legs to start fizzing the stuff on my tummy!
