do i have a disease
I was reading a magazine that said if you have more than about 10 hairs around your breast you may have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. I looked it up to see what it was, and I am now sort of concerned. I know i should talk to a doctor about it, but before I do does anyone who knows anything about this syndrome or about women's health know if having lots of hair around your nipple is almost deffinetly Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome?

when you have that you usually have extra hair growth... like dark and on your stomache back legs... also you have some kind of skin discoloration and sometimes those skin tacts (like they are kinda skin that hang kinda like a mole) and if u have a bad case of it it sometimes messes up your period.but i wouldnt worry if you dont have all those symptoms,its probrably just a little extra hair. hope i helped oh yea they are testing me for it just b/c i have the skin discoloration... the disease can go away with medcine i think.

well first you have to think about
1) your age.. the longer you ahve hairs there ussually the more you get and thicker they are
2) have you ever shaved them. the more you shave the more you get
3) your herritage.. some are more hairier than others.. like ussually italians have thicker hair
if none of those concern you then maybe you should read into it more before you talk to a doctor and if you are under 20 dont even worry about it. as you said its "womens health" and if you under that age you are still a young woman. if you are truely concerned ask a parent or a close friend that is older than you and see what they say

No, having more than 10 hairs around your nipple does NOT mean you have POC. It has to do with alot more than just that concidering a lot of women do have hair there. Go to this site and read up on what it actually is and all the other symptoms--
