Problems with unwanted hair
5 to 15 percent of the world's women suffer from excess unwanted hair or hirsutism. It's not just hair loss, it's a symptom of many problems.
This unwanted hair is a symptom of a hormonal physical problem called androgen. The main function of androgens (such as testosterone) is to develop the physical characteristics of men. Women's body also has a small amount of such male hormones naturally. But when more androgens are produced than normal levels, there is an excess of hair in their body. In this case the hairs are thick and dark black in color on the face, chest, lower abdomen, back, upper arms or thighs.

Although it is mainly a problem of teenagers, young women or young people, it can occur at any age. After menopause, many people can read this problem anew.
The cause of hirsutism
There are various reasons behind this problem of unwanted hair. Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of them. In addition, adrenal gland disease, ovarian or ovarian tumors and some other hormonal gland abnormalities can be a symptom of excess hair. Such problems can also occur as a side effect of some drugs (such as androgens or steroids, phenytoin, minoxidil). Again in many cases no cause can be found.
The main cause of excess hair is PCOS. Excess androgens are secreted from the ovaries of women with this disease and the sensitivity to androgens increases. Obesity is exacerbated by urban luxury living, changes in eating habits, and lack of physical activity. The prevalence of this PCOS is increasing in Bangladesh as well as all over the world. It is estimated that at least one-fourth of women between the ages of 15 and 30 suffer from the disease.
Unwanted hair is not only an aesthetic problem, it is also associated with many other problems and complications.
