In women with PCOS, the excess hair is never cased by 'PCOS'. It's caused by androgens, since many women with PCOS have excess androgens.

If that isn't what is driving your hair issues then anti-androgens like spiro or flutamide might not help.

There are MANY reasons that a woman could be experiencing excess body hair (some eating disorders cause excess body hair.)

You need to see a doctor who can look at all possibilities.
