Why does a woman have hair on her areola?

We all know that it is easy for men to grow hair around their areolas. In fact, this is quite common, but for women, this is a rare phenomenon, and it is often caused by some pathological factors.

If there is a problem with hair around the areola and it has become a fact that both spouses cannot accept, electrolysis hair removal may be a good way to permanently solve the problem of hair around the areola. Shaving or using depilatory agents are generally not effective and hair around the areola can easily reappear.

Hair growth depends on androgens produced by the adrenal glands or ovaries. For women with hair around the areola, abnormal sexual development, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and virilizing adrenal gland tumors should be ruled out first.

In most cases, hair growth around a woman's areola is not a big problem. However, each patient's feelings vary greatly. Some women are very sensitive to hair around the areola and are always very worried and frustrated. Doctors can help them overcome psychological barriers such as inferiority complex through persuasion and encouragement.
