What should men do if they have less pubic hair?

Most male friends think that the amount of male pubic hair is an important sign of male masculinity. In fact, this idea is wrong. The amount of male pubic hair is related to growth and development. So what should men do if they have less pubic hair? Let's learn about it together!

There are many manifestations of secondary sexual characteristics, and the time and order of their appearance are inevitably different. However, some teenagers have a blind sense of inferiority, and cannot distinguish between the normal range of variation and pathological manifestations. They think that other people's sexual organs are bigger than their own, their beards are thicker than their own, and their pubic hair is denser than their own... In fact, these worries are often unnecessary, because pathological conditions are a minority after all.

However, the problems reflected in these secondary sexual characteristics are sometimes important indicators of the endocrine system or genetic diseases, so they should not be taken lightly. Pubic hair is one of the secondary sexual characteristics, and the growth of pubic hair is the result of androgen stimulating pubic hair growth receptors. After puberty, male pubic hair not only gradually increases, but also presents a typical male diamond distribution, while the growth of female pubic hair is the result of estrogen stimulation, so the distribution of female pubic hair is characterized by a flat upper edge and an inverted triangle distribution, which is completely different from that of men. Girls have greater individual differences in body hair growth, so even if pubic hair is sparse or absent, it is mostly physiological, and not growing pubic hair does not necessarily hinder their development.

Why do some men have less pubic hair?

However, if a man does not grow pubic hair, it is very likely that there is a problem of incomplete development, especially if he still does not grow pubic hair after the age of 17 or 18, then you should check it carefully. The key is to see if there are any abnormalities in the size of the testicles, penis size, beard, Adam's apple, voice tone, etc. In other words, lack of pubic hair is not an isolated problem, but one of a series of signs. If there are many other abnormal manifestations, it may mean that there is something wrong with the endocrine system or chromosomes. But if there are no other indications, then it is likely that there is a problem with the receptor. When the pubic hair growth receptor is defective, the pubic hair is sparse and soft, and when the growth receptor is deficient or insensitive to androgens, the pubic hair does not grow. At this time, it is likely to be accompanied by sparse armpit hair and other body hair, and there may also be a family history. This simple abnormality in body hair growth has no impact on your overall physical and reproductive health. It is just a physiological variation, so there is no need to worry about it.

In addition, people's worries are often influenced by some superstitious legends among the people. For example, some people call women without pubic hair "white tigers" and men without pubic hair "blue dragons", believing that it is an ominous sign, "a girl with pubic hair will bring bad luck to her husband, and a boy with pubic hair will bring bad luck to his wife." These superstitions obviously lack scientific basis, so people with sparse pubic hair should be treated differently. As long as there are no other problems, there is no need to worry about it.
