Symptoms and Causes of Excess Hair
Excessive hair growth, or hirsutism, can be caused by a number of conditions, including:
Hormonal imbalances: Excess hair growth in women is frequently caused by hormonal imbalances, namely an excess of androgens, which are male hormones that are also found in women. Conditions such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), adrenal gland abnormalities, or tumours that release androgens may contribute to this.
Genetics: Excessive hair growth can run in families and can be impacted by genetic factors.
Medications: Certain drugs, such as anabolic steroids or hormone-containing pharmaceuticals, may produce excessive hair growth as a negative effect.
Medical conditions: Excess hair growth can also be caused by medical illnesses such as Cushing's syndrome, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, or thyroid abnormalities.
Age: As women age, the hormonal balance in their bodies may vary, resulting in greater hair growth.
Ethnicity: Excess hair growth may be more common in some ethnic groups, such as those of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, or South Asian heritage.
Obesity: Being overweight may be related with greater levels of androgens, which may contribute to excessive hair growth.
Excess hair growth, commonly known as hirsutism, is defined as hair growth in parts of the body where it is not normally present or where it is more apparent than usual. Excessive hair growth might cause the following symptoms:
→ Hair growth on the face, chest, back, arms, legs, or pubic area that is excessive.
→ Thicker, darker, or coarser hair than typical
→ Uncontrollable or difficult-to-remove hair growth
→ Hair removal treatments such as shaving, waxing, and plucking are being used more frequently.
→ Ingrown hairs or skin discomfort caused by hair removal methods
