    TLDR The document likely offers guidance on treating a woman's excessive hair growth, considering her symptoms and obesity.
    In the document from December 15, 2005, a 19-year-old woman presented with concerns about slowly progressive hair growth, which she has been managing with shaving and waxing since high school. Despite her regular menstrual periods, her physical examination revealed a body-mass index (BMI) of 31, indicating obesity, and the presence of trace hair over her abdomen and thighs, with a moderate amount over her back, but no clitorimegaly. The document likely discusses the evaluation and treatment options for this patient's condition, which may be related to hirsutism, a condition characterized by excessive hair growth in women in areas where hair is normally minimal or absent. The summary would provide guidance on how to approach her case, considering her symptoms and physical findings.
