Worried about hormone disorder
Posted , 3 users are following.
I noticed about a tuft of hair on my daughters neck about 8 months after her first period (11.5 years old).
its located on the left lower side of neck (toward the front) not directly in middle the hairs are long, not so thick, almost fuzzy, lightly coloredpeople never notice the hair unless we point it out
her periods come about every 40 days or so
she went for 8 months without period last year but pediatric gyno thought it was because she lost 15 pounds in 4 months thats another story she has since gained some weight back, about 7 pounds and her periods have resumed
im very anxious all i can think of is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome the gyno saw her in august and said the hair was not hormonal however i feel that it has gotten sligthly more pronounced since then
going for her yearly physical tomorrow so scared that we will have to send her for hormone testing

Don't worry mom, it's not unheard of,and i am certain that if you have a sit down with the doctor, he will reassure you that this not abnormal at her age.

hi! thank you so much for your reply
the dr saw her yesterday and did not think the hair was hormonal this is the 3rd dr that saw it (gyno, derm, pediatrician)
hopefully they are all correct and only cosmetic
thank you!❤❤❤

glad you got that info from the doctor! I had that on my neck also and cut it off and it did not come back. However that was done after puberty.
I think you daughter will be fine! Take care..
