Approximately 20 million American women need to remove facial hair at least once a week, according to a 1999 study done by Bristol Myers. It is not a disease but women with beards and hairs are often regarded as men, gross, impotent or witches.
The growth of excess beards and hairs on women is usually called Hirsutism. Hirsutism occurs on parts of a woman where hairs and not expected to grow or its growth is expected to be minimal. These hairs could appear in places that it normally occur on men, including the chest, back and face. Women develop excessive body or facial hair due to higher-than-normal levels of male hormones. Male hormones are called androgens, and they include testosterone. All females produce
androgens, but the levels normally remain low. Certain medical conditions can cause a woman to produce too many androgens, causing male-pattern hair growth
1. Most women who are diagnosed with hormonal imbalances respond well to treatment, but the hair can grow back if your hormone levels again become out of sync.
2. Anabolic steroids
3. Hirsutism tends to run in families. You may be more likely to have unwanted hair growth if your mother, sister, or another female relative does.
4. Cushing disease: Those with Cushing disease have higher-than-normal levels of cortisol. Cortisol is sometimes called the “stress hormone.”
5. And these conditions can affect the way your body produces androgens.
Adrenal cancer
Adrenal tumors
1. Hair removal creams
2. Shaving
3. Plucking
4. Waxing
5. Anti-androgen medications
6. Birth control pills can help balance your hormone levels.
If you are overweight, your doctor will probably suggest that you lose weight to reduce your hair growth. Obesity can change the way your body produces and processes hormones. Maintaining a healthy weight may correct your level of androgens without the use of medication.
