Can Hormonal Imbalance Cause Facial Hair to Women?

Subscriber’s question:

Hello Sel,

I read your article about hormonal imbalance. I learned a lot from it especially that my friends told me that I might suffering from hormonal imbalance since I have lots of facial hair.

My question is: Is hormonal imbalance caused facial hair to women?

Thanks,

Cecil

My answer:

Actually, there are many types of hormonal imbalance. The hormonal imbalance that I was talking in the article that you recently read is the imbalance of hormones called progesterone and estrogen in women.

And yes, facial hair in women is caused by hormonal imbalance. But this time the hormones involved here is the testosterone.

To let you know, men and women both have the hormone “testosterone“. The testes of male and the ovaries of women are the ones responsible to the secretion of this hormones. And sometimes it is also secreted by the androgen glands.

However, the level of testosterone hormone in male is high compared to that of the female. Normally, in female, estrogen and progesterone are high in level.

So, once the level of testosterone in women is too high, women will experience the growth and development of facial hair because facial hair is one of the effects of testosterone in human’s body.

However, not at all times the cause of facial hair is the testosterone hormone imbalance problem. There are other causes of it like, poly cystic ovarian syndrome, heredity, and others.

So how to fix the hormonal imbalance?

The best way to check the hormonal imbalance is to visit and consult your gynecologist. Don’t believe on what the articles published in the internet because the advices contained with those articles might not be applicable to you.
