Hirsutism: What You Need To Know
Life would be a lot easier for women if we didn’t have to spend so much time and effort removing unwanted hair. Whether it’s tweezing a stray hair, shaving our legs, or waxing our eyebrows, hair removal is an expensive and time-consuming task. This can become even more expensive and time consuming if you have hirsutism. Hirsutism is a condition that causes excessive growth of thick, dark hair in a male-like pattern on the face, chest, neck, and back. While all women have a certain amount of hair growing in these locations, with hirsutism the hair is much more pronounced. This can cause psychological distress and issues with self-confidence. There are several ways to treat hirsutism, including medications, traditional hair removal methods, and more permanent forms of hair removal. Which treatment works best for you will depend on the underlying condition causing excessive hair growth.
