Excessive hair growth in women is the result of various causes

Excessive body hair in women appears on many parts of the body and upsets a woman’s feeling of well-being and femininity. The face, cleavage and breast area can be affected by hirsutism, but also the back and abdomen, thighs and forearms. Most of the time, no recognisable medical reasons can be found. Hormonal changes during puberty, during pregnancy or at the time of the menopause often cause excess hair.

Certain diseases can also trigger excessive body hair in women, for example the so-called polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). During this process, the ovaries produce an excessive level of male hormones. Excessive hair can also come about through an enzyme defect of the adrenal gland, the so-called adrenogenital syndrome (AGS), or when taking certain medicines. Androgens, such as those used in doping, also generally promote increased male-like hair growth in women.
