My endocrinologist informed me and gave me an article on the topic = "Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome"of which he diagnosed me during infertility = problems.Nipple hair as well as darker hair on upper thighs and upper = lip(I was a California beach gal for so long that these last 2 didn't show up for years due to sunshine bleach-I bike a = lot-no,not surfed or sun-worshipped. The nipple hair seemed to diminish during pregnancy and early months of = lactation dramatically,but now at 2.5 years and continued lactation,they = are even more numerous.I have no desire to remove them and my hubby = knows it-no problems in that department.
