Sucess with anti androgens and who prescribes them your ob/gyn or dermatologist?

my dermatologist says i should refer to my obgyn but i was wondering if this is common or is my dermatologist just behind in the times....Sucess with anti androgens and who prescribes them your ob/gyn or dermatologist?
Usually anti-androgens are precribe by gynecologists and/or better gynecologist-endocrinologist because most probably you have excess hair grow (hirsutism) which is a symptom (very often) of PCOS which should be treated and monitored by gynecologists.


These are most common simptoms of PCOS:


1. rare menstruations (oligomenorrhea),


2. policyctic ovaries (many/multiple cycts),


3. anovulatiry cycles,


4. infertility,


5. increased hair grow in ';not feminine places'; (face, breasts, etc.)


6. increased level of testosterone and LH





Be Healthy and Happy!
