Why do women have less pubic hair?

Pubic hair is a special part of women. The pubic hair of many women is relatively sparse. There may be many reasons for this situation, which are related to androgen and certain diseases. Generally, the state of pubic hair is basically determined by the age of 17 or 18. If there is a problem of sparse pubic hair, but everything else is normal, then it will not have any impact on your life. You don’t have to worry too much. If there are other abnormal conditions in your body, you should check it out in time.

The relationship between androgen and pubic hair thinning

The density of female pubic hair mainly depends on two factors: the level of male hormones and the sensitivity of pubic hair follicles to androgens. If a woman's pubic hair grows during the period of development, due to a decrease in certain androgens secreted by the body, or if the pubic hair follicles are insensitive to androgen stimulation, she may easily have sparse pubic hair or no pubic hair.

These diseases can cause pubic hair to be sparse

In addition, a few symptoms of sparse pubic hair may be caused by diseases, such as decreased thyroid function, idiopathic Addison's disease, or the use of large amounts of glucocorticoids during adolescence, which can affect the secretion of sex hormones and cause sparse pubic hair, accompanied by symptoms such as menstrual disorders and sexual dysfunction.

Generally speaking, the condition of a woman's pubic hair is basically determined around the age of 17 or 18. If the pubic hair is sparse or absent, but other secondary sexual characteristics are normal, such as breast development, body shape, voice changes, etc., and menstruation is normal, it means that the sexual organs and sexual functions are developed normally, and it will generally not affect the sexual life. The woman will have normal reproductive ability and there is no need to worry too much.

How to remove pubic hair

Pubic hair removal can be temporary or permanent. Temporary removal of pubic hair is usually done with depilatory creams or razors. Permanent removal of pubic hair mainly requires laser surgery, which must be done in a large hospital. Although the operation does not take long, any negligence can harm the body and even leave scars. Going to a large hospital for laser pubic hair removal surgery is more reliable and will ensure faster recovery after surgery. Pubic hair will continue to grow after being shaved with a razor, so be careful when doing so to avoid scratching the skin. After shaving your pubic hair, wash any remaining hair on your skin with water.
