Why Do Women Have Facial Hair?
Facial hair in women is usually caused by hormonal changes or imbalances.
Common Causes of Facial Hair in Women

- Hormonal Imbalances: High levels of male hormones (androgens) can lead to extra hair growth.
- Medical Conditions: Issues like PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) and adrenal gland disorders can cause hormonal changes that lead to facial hair.
- Medications: Some medicines, like steroids and certain hormonal treatments, can trigger facial hair growth.
- Aging: As women get older, hormonal shifts can lead to more facial hair.
If facial hair is a concern, a doctor can help determine the cause and suggest the best treatment.
