Adrenal lesions are also an important cause of hirsutism in girls. Include various congenital and acquired hypertrophy, tumors, etc. After getting sick, some people's appearance changes greatly, showing that obesity is mainly in the abdomen, with relatively thin limbs, round and red face, general fatigue, irregular menstruation, high blood pressure and stunted height; There are also hermaphroditic external genitalia, clitoris growing up and masculinity.
Pathological hirsutism and masculinity are caused by excessive androgen produced by the diseased ovary or adrenal cortex to stimulate hair follicles. Androgen in women mainly comes from adrenal gland, and a small amount is provided by ovary.
Idiopathic hirsutism may be related to heredity. If the father and mother have more hair, then the daughter may also have more hair. The reason is still unclear. Some may have slightly higher androgen than normal people, and some may not be high at all, but hair follicles are too sensitive to androgen.
Idiopathic hirsutism mostly occurs around puberty. Although there is heavy hair, menstruation is mostly normal, and there is no clitoral hypertrophy or endocrine dysfunction.
Girls with hirsutism should be examined by doctors. If it is confirmed that it is a lesion of ovary or adrenal cortex, corresponding treatment methods should be taken. If it's not pathological hirsutism, then don't worry too much and be nervous.
