Greetings of the day
Hidradenitis suppurativa has nothing to do with her hormonal level. They will just be excising the infected sweat glands.
Regarding bumps on her thighs are most likely folliculitis, bring it to the attention of treating Surgeon, they will also deal with it at the same time.
Also Kindly consult her gynaecologist for further assessment of her regarding periods.
