Hirsutism

Hirsutism relates to coarse or brown fur, which develops on certain women's faces and bodies. Perhaps it may be the product of a medical disorder. Often people have thin, light, barely noticeable hair on their faces and bodies, although often this hair can be thicker and more obvious. Around half of the hirsutistic individuals have a surplus of androgens. Such hormones normally activate male growth, both physically and sexually. Women typically have low androgen levels however for a number of reasons these rates can differ. Higher rates can over-stimulate the hair follicles, resulting in more hair growth than a woman usually should.
