Your Stomach If you see... Thick dark hair (or stubble) in a diamond shape... It could mean... Is that forest sprouting on your abs thick enough to hide a family of hobbits? Dense, coarse hair that extends up towards your belly button (rather than growing downwards from the top of the pubic bone) could be a sign of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), says gynaecologist Dr Pamela Berens. Caused by overproduction of androgens, the condition can lead to irregular or heavy periods, weight gain, acne and thick, dark hair on the stomach, face, chest and back. As many as one in 10 Kiwi women have PCOS, which can be a risk factor for infertility and heart disease. If you have symptoms, see your doctor, who'll refer you to a gynaecologist to get checked out. They might prescribe the pill to get your hormones back in line.

Its my favourite mag. I gave up on mag a few years back but this is my ultimate read.
Did you see on FitCysters that Kat posted a link to free (read online) US women's health mags? I can't find it right now but if I find it later I'll come back and post the link here.
