Nervous about confrontingFrom: anonymous (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue, 19 Feb 2002 15:06:51 -0600 (CST)
I finally got up the nerve to ask my GYN last spring about my excess hair. She sort of blew it off and gave me a RX for Vaniqua. I never filled the RX. I'm pretty sure though that I've got PCOS and need to deal with that soon. I've dealt with the facial hair for years. To this day I'm not sure if my husband has never noticed or has just noticed and not said anything. I shave usually every day. And if I haven't recently shaved I'm very careful not to let him touch my face. Within the last year shaving isn't even working as well. I'm getting bumps which I never used to get so even after I'm done my skin is irritated looking and bumpy. I know I need to deal with this health issue but I'm just looking for some feedback on how people deal with this part of it. I'm beyond embarassed to mention it to my husband. And at this point I'm also scared that once I do mention it that he'll be really hurt that I never let him in on this before. Growing up I rarely had regular periods. The only really excessive hair I have is on my face. I have a history of diabetes in my family and I'm quite overweight. So I know that I have issues to deal with such as diet and exercise as well as medical issues to deal with under a doctor's care. But it's the mental issues that I think I dread the most. Has anyone else been here? I don't like showering with my husband because it cuts into my shaving time quite often. I'm wary of wearing my hair up and rarely let him really touch my face. I find myself thinking about it and worrying about it quite often and even now typing this I'm again near tears.
