What causes male leg hair?

Many people may think that only girls pay more attention to the phenomenon of excessive leg hair, while boys generally don't care much. However, there are exceptions in life. There are still a few men who are very concerned about their excessive leg hair, which affects the normal beauty of their legs. At the same time, compared with women, boys' leg hair is generally thicker and longer. So why do men have a lot of leg hair?

Inherited hair from parents

Leg hair is the hair that grows on the thighs, calves, soles, and toes of humans. Male legs are usually hairier and thicker than female legs, but a few female legs can also be as thick as male legs. Influenced by genetics, some people have thick and long leg hair, which is normal for men. There are some unscientific and interesting sayings that girls with leg hair are prettier and boys have stronger sexual desire. These sayings can be used as topics of conversation among friends, but there is no scientific basis.

Excessive hormone levels during puberty

During puberty, hormone secretion increases rapidly but is not stable. Therefore, various phenomena may occur. Don't worry, it will be fine after you pass puberty. If you are after puberty, you can use some hair removal products. But don't use them during puberty! Otherwise, since these products contain hormones, it is easy to disrupt the normal development of puberty and leave you with lifelong regrets.

Gynecological diseases

When women have symptoms of irregular menstruation, amenorrhea, and thick hair, they should be alert to polycystic ovary syndrome.

During B examination, the patient's ovaries can be seen to be enlarged, and there are many cystic follicles of varying sizes under the capsule, like pearls. In addition, some people can also feel enlarged ovaries, which are about 1 to 4 times the size of normal ovaries, such as the size of eggs. During physical examination, the patient can be seen to have thick and black hair distributed on the calves, arms, nipples, midline of the abdomen, around the anus, etc., and the hair distribution has a masculine tendency. The exact cause of the disease is still unknown. It is generally believed that it is a syndrome caused by abnormal menstrual regulation mechanism, that is, endocrine disorders in the human body, thickening of the ovarian capsule, inability of follicles to develop and mature, and ovulation, forming cysts of varying sizes, producing polycystic ovaries, and thus the typical symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome.
