Increased hair growth in women – what problems does it indicate and what can be done

0

As the endocrinologist said, women are trying their best to get rid of their hair. At the same time, many do not understand that hirsutism indicates serious health problems.

Even if there is no hair on the body after laser treatment, the problem has not disappeared, the doctor emphasized.

Hirsutism is excessive growth of terminal hair in women and children according to the male type. The main symptom (your own hair) may be accompanied by additional manifestations:

• menstrual cycle disorders,
• acne (pimples on the skin),
• alopecia (hair loss),
• infertility (in severe forms).

— Hirsutism is a reflection of many problems in the body and the brightest signal that a woman produces a lot of conditionally male hormones, — the doctor noted in her Telegram channel.

Causes of hirsutism:

• Ethnic predisposition
• Excessive hair growth at birth
• Development of tumors in the body that produce a large amount of hormones
• Taking certain medications
• Itsenko-Cushing's syndrome
• Taking androgens – male sex hormones.

— Most often, women are prescribed testosterone by adventurous medical bloggers who are trying to increase their sexual desire in this way. Such women often come to me, and we try to restore their damaged health, – said the doctor.

There is a Ferriman-Galway table, which you can use to independently determine the presence of hirsutism.

It is possible to get rid of hirsutism only by eliminating the cause of the disease.
