Is there any disease in women with sparse pubic hair?

The older people get, the more little secrets they have. Especially after many people begin to show physical characteristics, they will feel shy and at a loss, and don't know who to ask. Hiding things like this will only cause problems. Today let’s talk about the problem of female pubic hair. Some women have the problem of sparse pubic hair and may wonder if they have any disease. This is related to their personal body and is not something shameful.

Pubic hair is the surface part of the female external genitalia, located in front of the pubic symphysis. After puberty, the subcutaneous fat becomes increasingly plump, pad-like, and pubic hair grows. The distribution of pubic hair is basically an inverted triangle, covering the labia majora downwards and converging in front of the anus. The pubic hair of some women is distributed in long strips. The thickness, abundance, thickness and color of pubic hair can vary greatly from person to person, but the degree of curl, amount, density, thickness and color vary among individuals and races and have no direct relationship to development.

Female breast development can start as early as 8 years old, with an average of 10-11 years old. Most begin to develop before the age of 13. Pubic hair develops and begins to appear before the breasts mature. The pubic hair forms an angle of no more than 30 degrees with the skin surface, covering downward and toward the midline, from the mons pubis and labia majora, forming an inverted triangle with a horizontal upper edge. The amount, distribution, and color of pubic hair vary greatly from person to person. Female pubic hair can also extend from the mons pubis downwards and form strips together with the pubic hair on the labia majora. When the breasts are fully developed and stand high in front of the chest; pubic hair grows, the mons pubis becomes thick, the pelvis becomes wide and flat, the buttocks become enlarged, the muscles and fat are smoothly distributed, and the curvaceous female body shape is formed, and the female puberty is completed. Therefore, by the age of 18, a woman's secondary sexual characteristics have all matured, that is, when a girl reaches the age of 18, her sexual organs and sexual functions have all matured and she has the ability to reproduce.

Too little or too much pubic hair mainly manifests itself in women. Normal women have less body hair, most of which is physiological. There are no major diseases in the body and it has no impact on health. Having too little pubic hair is a pathology in a few women. There is a genetic disease called Nayson syndrome caused by sex chromosome abnormalities. The disease often causes very little pubic hair. Female patients with this disease have hypogonadism, short stature, underdeveloped breasts, childish external genitalia, almost no pubic hair on the mons pubis, amenorrhea, and no fertility. Some women have hypothyroidism, often have no armpit hair, sparse pubic hair, and have low libido. Some women also experience heavy postpartum bleeding, pituitary ischemia, pituitary insufficiency, amenorrhea and infertility, weight loss, weakness, loss of libido, loss of hair and pubic hair, and less pubic hair.

When men and women have less pubic hair or pubic hair falls out, they should go to the hospital for examination in time. Some young men may have sparse or absent pubic hair, often without Adam's apple, high-pitched voice, and no sperm in their semen. This is caused by congenital testicular dysgenesis or microtestis. If men experience the above symptoms, they should go to the hospital for a chromosome test to determine the cause as soon as possible.

Now we know why pubic hair is decreasing, and we also understand its harm. Therefore, if you experience a gradual decrease in pubic hair, it is recommended that you first undergo a comprehensive and thorough physical examination to see if the decrease in pubic hair is caused by any disease. Especially for young people, the gradual decrease in pubic hair is itself an abnormal situation. Only by finding out the cause can you thoroughly treat the disease and solve the problem of decreased pubic hair.
