Nearly 10% of women in the world suffer from excess hair, especially on parts of the body such as down, navel or back. Annoying unwanted hair is often the source of physical complexes. Indeed, women are anxious about revealing their hairiness and jeopardizing their femininity.
Excess hair, also called hirsutism, is due to strong hair growth in specific areas of the human body. If in men, this phenomenon can express a certain form of virility, women seem more reluctant to accept this accumulation of hair.
What are the causes of this excess hair?
Hirsutism can originate in two main factors:
Polycystic ovary syndrome:
The main cause that can cause excessive hair growth on the body is hormonal disruption. This mechanism is common in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
Indeed, this pathology causes the ovaries to secrete too many androgens, hormones that cause hair similar to that of men. While women naturally produce these “male” hormones, if they are secreted in large quantities, they can lead to considerable hair growth.
A hormonal imbalance in the adrenal glands:
Like the ovaries, the adrenal glands produce hormones that can cause excess hair growth. In fact, excessive hair growth can cause a disease known as congenital hyperplasia of the adrenal glands.
Hair follicles too sensitive:
When hirsutism is not due to hormonal disruption, it may be the result of an increased sensitivity of hair follicles. Hereditary, this cause does not reveal any underlying disease and leads to the secretion of male hormones and therefore to hypervelocity.
How to eliminate this unwanted hair?
Fortunately, if you suffer from hypervelocity, you will not have to undergo this excess hair all your life.
