Is it normal for an adult man to still not have pubic hair?

Some men find that they have no pubic hair since puberty, and this phenomenon still exists in adulthood. At this time, they will think that they have a certain disease. So, in medicine, is it normal for men to have no pubic hair? The editor will give you a detailed analysis.

Men's pubic hair is the result of androgen stimulation

There are many manifestations of secondary sexual characteristics of human beings, and it is inevitable that they appear earlier or later and in what order. However, some teenagers have a blind inferiority complex and cannot distinguish between the normal range of variation and pathological manifestations. They think that other people's sexual organs are larger than their own (not knowing that there is a visual angle illusion problem here), 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 after all a minority. 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 androgens stimulating pubic hair growth receptors.

It is not normal for a man to not have pubic hair

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 have a serious check-up. 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 may not be an isolated problem, but one of a series of signs. If there are multiple 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.
