What does a woman's body hair indicate?

Thick body hair is a sign of a strong man, but if a beautiful woman also has thick body hair, it would be very embarrassing. What's even more frightening is that a woman's thick body hair may be a sign of a serious illness! Generally speaking, thick body hair is mainly related to genetic factors and excessive secretion of androgen in the body. If you have more hair on your limbs, more armpit hair, or thicker eyebrows, it is mostly affected by genetic factors, so you don't need to be too anxious about this situation.

Symptoms of excessive body hair: If a woman grows a lot of long, thick and black hair in areas where hair should not grow, or the hair is distributed in a male pattern, such as around the lips, jaw, midline of the chest, inner thighs, around the areola, etc., with varying degrees of hair distribution, and the eyebrows become increasingly thick and dark, and the pubic hair grows towards the abdomen and even the navel, this phenomenon should be paid attention to, as it is mostly related to endocrine abnormalities.

Causes of dense body hair: Polycystic ovary syndrome is the most common cause. Diseases that cause abnormal secretion of male hormones in the body, such as ovarian tumors, pineal tumors, and theca hyperplasia, as well as various causes of adrenal hyperfunction, such as Cushing's disease, adrenal tumors, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, hypothalamic and pituitary tumors, pituitary eosinophilic adenomas, alkaliphilic cell hyperplasia and adenomas, can also cause hirsutism. Other reasons such as juvenile hypothyroidism, hyperinsulinemia, and taking hormone drugs can all lead to increased body hair. If your thick body hair is not caused by any disease, no special treatment is required. We should maintain good living habits in daily life, eat less high-fat and high-calorie foods, such as potato chips, cream cakes, Western fast food, carbonated drinks, etc., and eat more coarse grains, soy products, vegetables, fruits, etc.; in addition, we should also strengthen exercise.

Treatment for dense body hair: To treat dense body hair, we must first rule out various endocrine diseases. It is recommended to go to the endocrinology department of a regular hospital first. You can choose the examination items under the guidance of the doctor, such as testing blood pressure and blood sugar, B-ultrasound examination of ovarian follicles, blood tests for related hormone levels, checking blood and urine cortisol levels, etc. After the diagnosis is confirmed, appropriate treatment will be given according to the specific situation. From the above, it can be seen that having excessive body hair on women is not just embarrassing, it is very likely to cause disease. Scary, excessive body hair in women may be a sign of serious illness. Be sure to pay attention.
