Question

what's the deal with too much back hair, on 40 yr. old female??? is it pre-menopausal??? i had my last child at age 28!!! and, when i was pregnant with her, we thought we were having a boy because i started growing hair in a lot of unusual places!! but, it has gotten progressively worse since then!!! anything that i can do??

Answer 1

You have a hormonal imbalance and need to seek advice from your DR.. many women grow dark hair after they become pregnant... With the correct medication you can change this around... start dialing that number kiddo

Good Luck

Answer 2

It could be anything from your thyroid to fibroids. The best person to ask is your gynocologist to rule out either. It could be a side effect of polycystic ovaries. It's not a dangerous condition, just cysts in your ovaries. If she rules out those and the hair bothers you, ask her for a prescription for vaniqa, a cream you put on after hair removal to prevent regrowth.

Answer 3

It definitely sounds like something with the hormones. You should probably go to the doctor and have a test done. There are medications to take to balance out your hormones, but your doctor will need to prescribe them so you get the right amount.

Answer 4

I would check hormones level through a saliva test if I were you. Find a practitioner who has an access to a good laboratory .

Answer 5

well it is just a sign of testosterone, which is not necessarily a bad thing, for instance it controls how much sexual pleasure and desire we have, to reduce it i would try a veet or nair, so that you dont get razor bumps or ingrown hair from tweezing or waxing....

Answer 6

Its normal. Honestly the only thing you can do is shave it. But since its black, it will show really easily.

Answer 7

Well, your hormones could be out of whack. Any new meds?

Answer 8

i would see a dermatologist if i were you, something could be way off and you just might not know it yet
