Now while getting these medicines i hv noticed growth of coarse hair on my thighs and breast which is more than normal now. I need to get rid of them ASAP as they may get worse if it continue this way. But I m shy in sharing this with him. How should I address this problem in words to him? FYI, I m unmarried and have to visit him frequently if any of my family member get sick. Please suggest should I share this problem with him or not. i m not sure whether it is due to medicine he is giving me or due to my disease. I think i'll be embarrassed on every visit to him after this. Also I m scared for his reaction/response to my problem. And yes, I cannot change the doctor in mid as he is treating me fairly from past 3 months. Thanks in advance for ur suggestions.

It's so important that you see him, so please do. If you feel that bad perhaps you should take a female family member along if possible or a trusted female friend. But the one thing you should not do is ignore this problem, he's a doctor and he will have seen worse.

 There is no such thing as "off-limits" when talking to a qualified, responsible medical person. Tell him about the hair that grows and bothers you, and ask him/her if it results from the medication you take.... and, if "yes," is there anything that can be done to reduce or eliminate it...
Good luck....
