Excessive hair growth?
Excessive hair growth is often not just a problem to remove – but one to understand.
If hair starts appearing where it was not present before or becomes darker, thicker and more noticeable, it may be time to ask why.
For some women, it is an inherited trait; for others, excessive hair growth may be associated with hormonal imbalance.

ABOUT THE PANEL
The first step towards a long-term solution
Because only when you know the cause can you choose the right solution.
Many women spend years removing unwanted hair with wax, tweezers, depilation or laser. Although these methods remove hair, they cannot explain why it appears.
If excessive hair growth has appeared suddenly, is becoming more pronounced or is accompanied by other symptoms, it is important to check for a hormonal cause.
Laboratory investigations are the first and most important step because they help a doctor assess whether there is a hormonal imbalance requiring further investigation or treatment.
The earlier the cause is found, the greater the opportunity to act in time and prevent other symptoms associated with hormonal changes from developing.
What does the panel include?
The panel covers hormones that may be associated with excessive hair growth: Total testosterone, Free testosterone, DHEA-S, Androstenedione, Cortisol, FSH, LH
Estradiol (E2)
Progesterone
When is it time to get checked?
The panel is recommended for women noticing:
- increased hair growth on the face, chin or neck
- hair on the chest, abdomen or back that was not previously present
- darker or thicker hair than before
- the need for increasingly frequent hair removal
- irregular periods
- adult acne
- simultaneous hair loss
- suspected hormonal imbalance or PCOS

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does excessive hair growth mean I have a hormonal disorder?
Not necessarily. For some women, it is a genetic predisposition; for others, excessive hair growth may be associated with hormonal changes. Laboratory investigations can help assess whether there is a hormonal cause requiring further investigation. If excessive hair growth is found to be associated with hormonal imbalance, timely diagnostics enable a doctor to choose appropriate treatment or therapy, addressing the cause of the problem rather than just its consequence.
When is the best time to have the panel?
Some hormones are best sampled at a particular phase of the menstrual cycle. Contact us before your visit so that we can advise you on the ideal sampling time.
What happens after the results?
You can discuss your results with Poliklinika Analiza’s doctors, who will interpret them and recommend further investigations if necessary.
Excessive hair growth may be one of the first signs of hormonal changes in the body. Identifying a possible cause is the first and most important step towards a long-term solution. Only when you know why increased hair growth occurs can you and your doctor choose an appropriate treatment or other way to address the problem.
