Have you ever seen a woman with beards? For women however, being hairy on the face, hand and chest is not considered womanly except it was only on their private Areas and not on the face.
In some cases, a woman with facial hair might be mistaken for a man unless she was actually wearing female clothes.
Just as we have different views about several topics based on our culture, religion, and so on, we also have weird comments about bearded ladies.
Countries like Botswana, Kenya and Nigeria believe that women with beards are rich or will be rich in future, some cultures also believe that these women with beards are special and intelligent in any business.
While other cultures, females with beards and Moustaches are been stigmatized, and called all sorts of names.
In this article I will explain some true facts about women who has beards and Moustaches.
1. Ladies who have hair on their faces (beards moustache, chin, etc.) have a condition known as ‘Hirsutism‘.
Hirsutism happens when hormones cause hair to grow in the female body after puberty in areas where it typically only grows in males.
2. ‘According to MedicalNewsToday’, the growth of beards and moustaches in females is fairly common, but in some cases, it can be a sign of hormonal imbalances called Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), which cause the body to produce too many androgens hormones.
All females produce androgens, but the levels typically remain low, and it don’t cause excess hair growth.
But when these amounts are too high, they can cause hirsutism and other things, like acne, a deep voice, and small breasts.
3. The growth of beards and moustaches might be genetic.
If you’ve ever noticed facial hair on your grandma or mother, then you might notice the same thing on your own face at around the same age.
4. It can be treated and treatments include birth control pills that contain estrogen and progestin, antiandrogens, or insulin sensitizers.
