Women's body hair suddenly increases

Generally speaking, women have much less body hair than men, and the increase of body hair will increase with age, which is a process. However, some women may find that their body hair suddenly increases, and they are very worried about this sudden change. On the one hand, it is very unsightly, but the key is that they are worried about the nature of this abnormality. So, why do women suddenly have more body hair? Let’s take a look below.

1. Genetic factors.

There is a close relationship between heredity and thick body hair. If you have more body hair under your armpits and on your limbs, and your parents also have this condition. That's probably something they passed on to you. There's no need to worry too much about it. It's a normal physiological phenomenon.

2. Polycystic ovary syndrome.

If this happens to women, a typical symptom is increased body hair. Especially the calves, abdomen and other areas.

In general, when women experience these conditions, they will not think of going to the gynecology or endocrinology department for examination. Most of them will choose to go to the dermatology department for examination. This can easily cause a delay in the disease. It is recommended that women go to the hospital to check whether they have polycystic syndrome if they find an abnormal increase in body hair. This disease not only affects the image, but also causes women to experience amenorrhea, anovulation and other conditions.

3. Hirsutism.

If a woman has too much male hormone in her body, it will cause her hair to grow too long and too dense, forming the so-called hirsutism. Hirsutism can be divided into pathological and physiological types. Pathological types are generally caused by drug-induced, idiopathic and other reasons.

If a woman's hair becomes more and more dense, it is absolutely abnormal and she needs to check whether it is caused by excessive male hormones. Excessive male hormones in women can affect the normal menstrual cycle and ovulation, so do not take it lightly.

4. The influence of hormone drugs.

Long-term use of hormone-containing drugs can also lead to endocrine disorders in women, especially those containing androgens. If taken frequently, androgens will naturally be present in the body.
