Male pattern hair growth
I am observing male pattern hair growth in my chest and abdomen , probably from last few years , and the number of hairs r increasing in this area of chest n abdomen.
Is this normal or do I need to go for some tests .
I get regular periods and on time of 28-30 days interval.
Little to no cramps depends on physical work and also good periods flow of 3-4 days.
I also feel I suffer from PMS . I got my thyroid tested and it's normal.
Any suggestions ?
