Excessive Body Hair
Body hair grown excessively over the various body parts other than head are a source of discomfort and self-consciousness for many.
At Orchid Clinic, we are dedicated to helping you understand and address these concerns effectively.

Causes of Unwanted Body Hair:
- Hormonal Imbalances: An imbalance in hormones, such as an excess of androgens (male hormones), can lead to increased body hair growth in both men and women.
- Genetics: Family history plays a significant role in determining your body’s natural hair growth patterns. Some individuals are genetically predisposed to have more body hair.
- Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions, like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), can lead to excessive body hair growth due to hormonal disruptions.
- Medications: Some medications may stimulate hair growth as a side effect.
Common Symptoms of Excessive Body Hair:
- Visible and Thick Hair: Excessive body hair often appears thicker and darker than desired, making it more noticeable.
- Unwanted Hair Growth: Hair may grow in areas where you prefer it not to, such as the face, back, chest, or abdomen.
- Impact on Self-esteem: Unwanted body hair can affect self-esteem and confidence, causing emotional distress
