Hirsutism is a common condition in women where excessive, thick, and dark hair grows in areas where men typically grow hair. It is most commonly caused by elevated levels of androgens (male hormones) or heightened sensitivity of hair follicles to these hormones.
Affected areas may include:
• Chin and jawline
• Upper lip
• Chest and nipples
• Lower abdomen
• Thighs or back
Main causes of hirsutism:
• PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)
• Hormonal imbalances
• Genetic factors
• Certain medications
• Obesity or insulin resistance
Symptoms to watch for:
• Unusual hair growth in male-like patterns
• Irregular periods or acne (if hormonal)
• Emotional distress or low confidence
Treatment options:
• Laser hair removal – long-term reduction of thick hair
• Hormonal therapy – regulates androgen levels
• Topical creams – slow down hair growth
• Electrolysis – permanent hair removal
• Weight management and dietary changes
Early diagnosis and proper care can control hair growth and restore confidence.
