The cause of excessive hair growth varies. Common causes include genetics, endocrine disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome, and medications like hormones, steroids, and birth control pills. It can be normal depending on race and geographic origin and when it runs in families. Some rare causes include menopause, puberty, pregnancy, ovarian tumor or cancer, and drugs like minoxidil.
Symptoms associated with excessive hair growth may include:
increased muscle mass
signs of masculinization (such as deepening of the voice)
excessive facial hair growth
menstrual changes
decreased breast size and
increased size of genitals
Treatment of excessive hair growth depends on the cause of this problem. If excessive hair growth is a racial, ethnic, or family trait, no medical treatment may be necessary or prescribed. Instead, the person may choose to see a cosmetologist or electrologist for removal of unwanted hair or be advised on home methods for removing unwanted hair.
If the excessive hair growth is due to some underlying medical disorder or disease, treatment will be prescribed by a healthcare provider and may involve medication. If the excessive hair growth is due to a life-cycle change or medication, as with birth control pills, an adjustment or change in medication may be necessary.
Complications can result from any hair removal procedure. Be sure you follow all directions listed for any hair removal product and are informed of the risks involved with any professional hair removal procedure
