It is true that increased hair growth afflicts many women and men who try to deal with it in various ways.
But do we know when increased hair growth is simply considered "excessive" or "pathological"? How and when do we need to proceed with an extensive hormonal test to control its possible causes?
Hair growth in the human body is caused by the production of male hormones.
These male hormones are also produced in the female body by their ovaries and adrenal glands.
In general, the male hormones are needed to develop the skeleton, the body hair, to make our smooth integration into adolescence and the completion of sexuality.
But there are women who have increased male hormones. This results in increased hair growth in areas of the female body where it should not occur. This hair overgrowth can be mild, moderate or severe.
