A woman has told how having too much testosterone made her grow a huge beard and caused people to mistake her for a man.
In her first ever interview, Allyson, who lives a nomadic existence driving across America in her van, told‘As soon as I hit puberty the hair started to grow, because I have polycystic ovary syndrome . The insulin resistance caused by PCOS makes me produce more testosterone than a typical woman, hence the hair.
The couple were watching a Nascar commercial at their old home in La Pine, Oregon, when bearded driver Jimmie Johnson jokingly implored fans – both male and female – to grow their facial hair out as a way of supporting him.‘I said “Yeah, but you wouldn’t want to be seen in public with me?” and he said: “I would be fine with it.”
Allyson says the high levels of testosterone which once flowed freely around her body and caused various health conditions have been regulated since she began growing her beard and provided an outlet for those hormones. Her once-worrying cholesterol and triglyceride levels have also plummeted, despite Allyson not making any major changes to her lifestyle.She added: ‘It was amazing to me that growing my beard actually changed my health a lot.
‘The testosterone that I normally have in my system seems to be going into my beard intead of flowing free around my body, and ruining my health.’ ‘I’ve actually been told that menopause might actually hold off longer than normal because I’m effectively going through a second puberty. It’s kind of scary.’
