What's up with no pubic hair? You should look here.

As we all know, when people mature, they will have pubic hair. Although it may not look very beautiful, it is very important for improving the quality of sex life and sexual ability. However, due to various reasons, some people have no pubic hair. What is going on?

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 inferiority complex and cannot distinguish between the normal variation range and pathological manifestations. They think that other people's sexual organs are bigger than their own (not knowing that there is a visual angle illusion 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 the secondary sexual characteristics of these years are sometimes important indicators of 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-shaped distribution. The growth of female pubic hair is the result of estrogen stimulation, so the distribution characteristic of female pubic hair is that the upper edge is flat and distributed in an inverted triangle, which is completely different from that of men.

However, if a man does not grow pubic hair, it is very likely that there is a problem of incomplete development, especially if he is over 17 or 18 years old and still has no pubic hair, 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 abnormalities, it may mean that there is something wrong with the endocrine system or chromosomes. But if there are no other signs, then it is likely that there is a problem with the receptors. When the pubic hair growth receptors are defective, the pubic hair is sparse and soft, while when the growth receptors are absent or insensitive to androgens, the pubic hair does not grow.

At this time, it is likely to be accompanied by a lack of rubber hair and other body hair, and there may also be a family history. This simple abnormal growth of body hair has no effect on the overall health and reproductive health. It is just a physiological variation, so there is no need to worry about it.

People's worries are often due to the influence of some superstitious legends. For example, some people call women without pubic hair "white tigers" and men without pubic hair "blue dragons", and believe 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.
