Why don't women have hair down there?

As humans age, their bodies are constantly changing, through several stages such as infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and old age. Some characteristics of the human body only become apparent during the developmental stage, such as breasts, Adam's apple, and hair growth in some parts of the body. Some girls find that they have no hair down there after they have fully developed. Here I will explain to you why women don’t have hair down there.

Human hair growth is mainly controlled and restricted by estrogen and androgen, which will have a certain stimulating and inhibitory effect on the growth of hair in different parts of the body. If the female pubic hair is in the development period, the hair follicles in the nostril and pubic region are not sensitive enough to androgen, the pubic hair will become sparse or no pubic hair. The amount of pubic hair varies from person to person. Women with sparse or no pubic hair can have normal sexual life, which means their reproductive capacity is also normal.

If a woman's androgen level is too low, she may not grow pubic hair. Some women who do not grow pubic hair will grow pubic hair after becoming pregnant. This is also possible, but if you find that you suddenly have too little or no pubic hair, go to the hospital immediately, find out the cause of the disease, and choose symptomatic treatment. Don't delay.

There may also be abnormal secondary sexual characteristics, which are directly related to chromosomal abnormalities and genetic diseases. Such diseases are called Turner syndrome, a sex chromosome abnormality genetic disease. Patients with this disease have glandular insufficiency, are too short, have underdeveloped breasts, and have immature external genitalia. Although they can have sexual intercourse, they are incapable of reproduction. In addition, heavy postpartum hemorrhage can lead to decreased pituitary function, making the patient look thin, causing amenorrhea or infertility, and also resulting in too little pubic hair.

Another situation is that pubic hair does not grow due to some diseases. Such as hypothyroidism. When the disease is cured, pubic hair will grow again, and it will not affect marriage and sexual life after marriage.

There are also some drugs that stimulate the body and affect the growth of body hair. Long-term and large-scale use of glucocorticoids before puberty will feedback inhibit the function of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis, causing renal cortex dysfunction or even atrophy, and reduced or no secretion of male hormones, resulting in sparse or no pubic hair.

What we introduced above are the reasons for pubic hair growth. The reasons for not growing pubic hair are still very complicated. We can only find the cause of the disease and choose symptomatic treatment based on the cause. If female friends have no pubic hair growth, they don’t have to worry, because many situations may cause no pubic hair growth. They should adjust their emotions at ordinary times to avoid imbalance of hormone levels in the body.
