What Causes Facial Hair in Women?

## Find the cause Isolated facial hair is not a serious problem — you can just pull it out or shave it and forget about it. But if there are a lot of hairs that are noticeable and appear again after their removal, it means there is something else going on in the body. Often, the cause is hormonal. This most often occurs during puberty, [pregnancy](https://ul.orna.me/KOge/librarydisease?id=3), or [menopause](https://ul.orna.me/KOge/librarydisease?id=55) due to hormonal changes in the body. In this case, the problem is temporary — but it should still be taken care of. The growth of unwanted hair may also cause hormonal imbalance caused by=== polycystic ovaries, adrenal gland or thyroid gland malfunction, or the appearance of tumors that produce male sex hormones. Improperly selected hormones, some antibiotics, and immunosuppressive drugs may lead to the same result. Being overweight also leads to changes in the hormonal background with the predominance of male hormones. Genetics can also play a role — for example, it is common for women of certain ancestries to have facial hair. ## Ask for help If you are experiencing hair growth, you should explore possible causes with your endocrinologist or gynecologist-endocrinologist. First, you will need to take a number of tests including general blood tests, urine tests, and hormone tests. After determining the background of hormonal failure, the doctor will decide whether to prescribe medication. And in situations with tumors, surgical treatment may be necessary. Having dealt with the internal "enemy," it is important to deal with the existing hair. To get rid of it, you might need to visit a beautician to discuss your best option for hair removal and ongoing skincare.
