About the hair - my endo told me when she was doing the initial
examination that she was not suprised that I did not have any excess
hair problems because women with PCOS who have light hair and skin
usually do not have that symptom. Therefore I would not think that it
will get much worse with age - anymore than everyone gets a little bit
harrier as they get older.:)
