There is no objective criterion for the definition of excessive hair growth. Hair density and color may vary depending on race, geographical region, and family structure. While the presence of hair on the legs and arms is acceptable to some extent, increased hair growth, especially on the abdomen and face, can be disturbing. To investigate whether hair growth is due to hormonal factors, hormone levels of the pituitary gland, ovary, thyroid gland and adrenal gland are examined. Increases in these may be due to abnormal growth or tumors of these glands. In this case, it may be necessary to use methods such as ultrasonography, MRI and Tomography to confirm the diagnosis. Drug treatment or surgical intervention is performed in accordance with the pathology present in the relevant organ.
One of the most common causes involving the ovaries is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. Medical treatment is at the forefront in polycystic ovary syndrome, and surgical intervention can be chosen in cases where there is no response to drug treatment.
When no hormonal disorder can be detected, epilation and similar aesthetic solutions can be applied.
