Endocrinologist,  's  Response
Hi,

Your problems could be due to PCOS.
The treatment options include oral contraceptive pills (for regularizing your menstruation and decreasing facial hair) and anti androgens like spironolactone and finasteride (to decrease your facial hair). These medications you have to continue for a period of 6 months to 2 years.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help

With warm regards,

Dr Ajish TP (MD,DM)
