What excess hair can indicate about a woman’s health

As much as most people don’t like it, we all have body hair and that shouldn’t worry anyone. However, if more hair suddenly starts to grow, or if the texture of your hair starts to change, it’s important to pay attention, as you may be experiencing a hormonal imbalance.

O awesome.club did a little research on this and brings you some details about what can cause excess hair in women. Read on, and if you’re experiencing something similar, be sure to talk to your doctor.

First, let’s define the types of body hair we can have.

Body hair, or down: it’s that little hair that covers almost the whole body. It is very thin and almost unnoticeable. By the terminal: it is much longer, stronger and thicker. It is usually darker than the other. It begins to appear at puberty, and can grow larger as the body undergoes hormonal changes. This is the fur we need to control.

If you notice a sudden growth of thick, dark hair, as men often do, look for old photos of your grandmother. Even with all modern technology, we cannot fool the genetics🇧🇷

A recent study showed that different ethnic groups are more or less likely to have excessive hair growth. White women from the Mediterranean and Middle East tend to have more hair than other ethnic groups, for example.

Sudden hair growth can be caused by a hormonal imbalance🇧🇷 Both men and women have male hormones, but women have them at a lower level than female hormones.

If the level of testosterone increases, the body can undergo some of the changes that usually happen to men. Another situation that leads to the same result is a decrease in the level of estrogen, which usually happens in menopause, for example. Either way, it means that the body is experiencing an imbalance.

The adrenal glands are in the kidneys. if they don’t work as they should, hormonal balance can also change🇧🇷 Hair growth is often a symptom of this.

Other symptoms caused by adrenal gland problems are:

High blood pressure. Weight gain in the upper body. Blood sugar level too low or too high. Headache. Muscle weakness.

If hirsutism appears suddenly it is important that you see a doctor. This growth is a sign of an increase in testosterone and can be the result of abnormal tissue growth, including a tumor (which can release male hormones). It’s not common, but if changes happen too quickly, it’s worth going to the doctor to prevent it.
