Is it good for women to have a lot of hair on their bodies?

For women, excessive body hair will affect appearance on the one hand, and on the other hand it may be related to disease. Of course, it may also be a genetic factor. The main consideration in terms of disease is endocrine disorders. For example, if polycystic ovary syndrome occurs, it often leads to excessive hair on the body. Therefore, according to different situations, appropriate methods should be taken for treatment or conditioning.

1. Causes of Excessive Body Hair in Women

1. Genetic factors

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.

2. Polycystic ovary syndrome

Before girls remove their hair, they must first understand a disease: polycystic ovary syndrome. A typical feature of this disease is increased hair growth, especially on the calves, arms, midline of the abdomen, vulva and around the anus, with a masculine tendency in hair distribution.

However, when these symptoms appear, many people do not realize that they should go to the gynecology or endocrinology department for examination, but go to the dermatology department or beauty salon, which delays the treatment of the disease. This disease not only affects personal image, it also brings some unexpected long-term hazards - because of long-term amenorrhea and anovulation in polycystic ovary syndrome, the endometrium is continuously stimulated by estrogen, without progesterone opposition and periodic endometrial shedding, so the risk of endometrial cancer increases. At the same time, polycystic ovary syndrome often has insulin resistance, so the incidence of hypertension, diabetes, and coronary heart disease increases. The cause of the disease is still unclear, but modern lifestyle and genetic factors have an impact on it.

3. Excessive hairiness may be the root of your own troubles.

Drugs can cure diseases, but they can also harm and disfigure the body, especially when abused. "Fu Qingsong" and "Pi Yan Ping", these hormone-containing ointments have always been regarded as a panacea for treating skin diseases because of their good efficacy and wide application. But in fact, long-term use will produce side effects such as facial capillary dilation, hirsutism, pigmentation, skin atrophy, etc. Moreover, once sensitive skin caused by hormonal dermatitis is formed, allergic reactions can easily occur when using normal cosmetics. If triamcinolone ointment is applied for more than 1 month due to eczema, the hair will become longer, darker, and thicker. Therefore, if you have a skin disease, you must use medication reasonably under the guidance of a doctor and never self-medicate.

4. Women grow a lot of long, thick and black hair in parts that should not grow hair, 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 different degrees of hair distribution, eyebrows become thicker and darker, pubic hair grows towards the abdomen and even the navel. This phenomenon needs attention, as it is mostly related to endocrine abnormalities.

2. How to treat thick body hair

1. To treat dense body hair, you must first rule out various endocrine diseases. It is recommended that you 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.

2. It is recommended that female friends should maintain good living habits. They should eat less high-fat and high-calorie foods, such as potato chips, cream cakes, Western fast food, carbonated drinks, etc., and should eat more coarse grains, soy products, vegetables, fruits, etc.; in addition, they should also strengthen exercise.

When using hair removal products, female friends must not be greedy for cheapness or choose casually. Brand and effectiveness are the key. In addition, you should pay attention to cleaning your body every day in summer, especially the more private places such as armpits and inner thighs, which are more likely to accumulate dirt. You must scrub them carefully, otherwise it will be difficult to remove over time.
