Hair on the girl's chest, around the halos, nipples. The norm, what tests to take, which doctor to contact

Many girls are often faced with such an undesirable manifestation as the growth of a large amount of hair on the chest. This feature can not only be a consequence of pathological disorders in the bodybut also often leads to a significant decrease in self-confidence.

Why does chest hair grow in women?

The hair on a girl's chest is often localized near the areolas, and not directly on the nipples. The skin of healthy patients is characterized by up to 15 thin and long rods, which first appear during puberty, which is explained by changes in the hormonal background.

The rapid increase in vegetation, which in medical practice is called hirsutism, is a clear signal of an increased production of male hormonal substances androgens.

The pathological process is the reason to immediately contact your doctor, which will normalize the main function of the endocrine system. Passing the correct treatment course allows you to eliminate hairs and slow down their further growth.

The main factors affecting the rapid development of hair follicles on the chest:

• Serious pathological processes in the bodyaffecting the rapid growth of hair. This most often includes the presence of hirsutism - a disease in which hair begins to grow in those places that are most characteristic of the male type. Often there is another type of disorder - hypertrichosis, which is associated with a pathological process in the formation of follicles in those areas of the body on which there should be no vegetation.
• The use of hormonal drugs and drugs that contain a group of barbiturate components. In this case, there is an increased reaction of the reproductive and hormonal systems, which together can produce a high surge of male hormones. The reason is especially typical for those persons who are undergoing therapy after severe complications. The main drugs that affect unwanted growth are Streptomycin, Minoxidil, Cyclosporin and others. Also, vegetation may appear due to the wrong choice of contraceptives.
• Hereditary reason. Genetically determined diseases often affect the appearance of hairs in unwanted areas of the body. The most common causes include the presence of relatives who have experienced such a pathological process. In addition, unwanted vegetation appears much more frequently in black women.
• Polycystic ovary. The presence of black hairs around the nipple may indicate rapidly developing pathological processes affecting the reproductive system of a woman. Such a disease often develops as a result of stressful situations or hormonal disruptions. In addition, it often manifests itself due to genetically determined factors, as well as when the menstrual cycle is interrupted. Untimely access to a doctor can lead to various problems in sexual function and infertility.
• Diseases of the hormonal system. When a woman's body produces a large number of male hormones, unwanted hairs begin to be observed in different areas of the body. Rapid increases in testosterone or androgens are characteristic of diseases in the ovaries, adrenal glands, or in the presence of an irregular menstrual cycle.
• Pregnancy. In the process of bearing a fetus, the hormonal level in the female body is characterized by strong changes that are reflected not only in the patient's well-being, but also in her appearance. During pregnancy, unwanted hair is most often shown near the nipples, but in 95% of cases, after the birth of a child, it falls out.

In addition to the factors described above, the presence of malignant neoplasms that develop in the adrenal glands, ovaries and pituitary gland can affect the rapid growth of hair.

One of the most common causes of hair growth is the production of small amounts of estrogen in the blood. So, the lack of natural female hormones in the body provokes the development of a dominant role in male hormonal compounds.

Other reasons include taking medications or injections with high testosterone levels, as well as significantly increasing physical activity. In this case, in addition to the appearance of hair, the woman's adrenaline rush increases, which indirectly affects her behavior.

When engaging in heavy physical activity, hairiness can manifest itself in the area of ​​the diaphragm, arms and neck.

Diseases that most often lead to the development of unwanted hair on the female body, include pathological processes in the kidneys, the presence of diabetes mellitus or cystic elements in ovaries.

When to see a doctor?

In the case when a woman has only black hair, without accompanying symptoms, it is not necessary to see a doctor.

It is better to consult with a specialist if the following symptoms occur:

• significant changes in the respiratory process, timbre of the voice;
• rapid growth of muscle tissue;
• rapid reduction or enlargement of the breast;
• fast weight gain or loss;
• falling hair, male pattern baldness;
• inflammatory or acne processes accompanied by a rash on the skin
• high drowsiness or insomnia, tachycardia;
• an increase in the number of stretch marks on the skin;
• a rapid increase in hair not only in the chest area, but also on the face and back.

In the presence of a complex of the above symptoms, you should immediately contact your doctor for further instructions on diagnosing and identifying the underlying pathological process.

First of all, you need to visit a mammologist, gynecologist and endocrinologist. In addition to diagnostic measures, the patient should undergo biochemical and hormonal tests, which can show the nature of the disease.

The doctor performs a comprehensive study of the entire clinical picture of the patient, which may indicate a certain classification of hirsutism, based on symptomatic manifestations and localization.

Classification of the disease	Clinical picture
Exogenous	It is caused by various pathological or degenerative disorders that relate to the endocrine and reproductive system, including the function of the adrenal glands and ovaries.
Idiopathic	It is characterized by increased production of the male hormone testosterone, which is detected against the background of the normative indicator of androgens in the blood.
Constitutional	Differs in a high content of androgens in the body. Although the pathological condition does not affect reproductive function in any way, it often causes various visual and aesthetic inconveniences.

Depending on the type of pathological process, a further course of treatment is displayed. Experts do not consider the constitutional form a dangerous painful condition, therefore, in this case, therapy is most often not carried out. It is enough to adhere to the basic preventive norms and methods of hair removal from unwanted areas.

Disorders characteristic of all forms of hirsutism are manifested in relation to the increased growth of hard and pigmented hairs that can be localized both on the chest and on the thighs, face or back.

In addition, the patient often complains of secondary symptoms of the disease: increased secretion of sebum, high sweating, acne and the inability to conceive a child.

What tests should I take?

The hair on the girl's chest is not an indication for the development of a therapeutic treatment plan, therefore, in order to avoid negative consequences in the future and to determine whether the disease is dangerous, a number of diagnostic measures should be carried out.

First of all, the doctor collects a general history of the patient's illness and life, within the framework of which an initial examination of the problem area is performed. In case of direct need, the woman is sent to another specialist who can more accurately determine the symptoms.

The exact formulation of the diagnosis depends on the following diagnostic procedures, which must be carried out in combination:

• Ultrasound diagnostics of the mammary glands. In this case, the doctor can identify various degenerative diseases, malignant neoplasms or cysts in the chest area. Also, various seals or any deviations of one of the indicators from the norm are investigated. At the first stage, it allows you to determine the nature of the course of the disease and prescribe additional diagnostic methods.
• Hormonal analysis. It is the most important research method used in 100% of cases. It allows you to determine the quality and quantity of hormonal structures in the body, based on which a general diagnosis is made or additional diagnostics of hormone-producing systems is carried out. In addition to increasing body hair, it makes it possible to identify malignant pathological processes in the body. The technique is especially effective when prescribing hormone therapy. Such a test is passed from 3 to 10 times, depending on the severity and time of development.
• General and biochemical study of blood serum. Allows you to identify various degenerative diseases, most of which significantly affect the molecular structure of the blood. So, when hormones are exceeded, a large number of red blood cells and other microelements are released in a woman's body. Often done in conjunction with urine testing.
• Ultrasound diagnostics of the groin area. Such a diagnosis allows you to determine the localization of the pathological process or various degenerative diseases in the woman's body, which significantly improves the treatment process. It is most often used when there is a suspicion of the presence of malignant neoplasms or changes in organ function.

In addition to the basic research methods, the doctor learns about the genetic predisposition of increased hair growth in a woman. As necessary, various diagnostic measures can be used to study the genealogical picture.

Ways to deal with the problem of unwanted hair

Undesirable hair on the chest or any other part of the body requires a preliminary visit to a beautician and medical specialist. Thus, the girl will avoid a number of negative consequences, including contraindications to certain procedures.

Also, an experienced cosmetologist will be able to suggest the most correct method of removal, depending on the characteristics of the body. Otherwise, removing unwanted vegetation will not be as effective.

You can get rid of hair on the chest or other part of the body using the following procedures:

• Elimination with tweezers. In this case, hair removal is performed by plucking. Best suited to those patients whose pathological manifestations are characterized by a hereditary nature. The procedure is performed on steamed skin, including the use of antiseptic preparations before and after. A distinctive disadvantage of this method is the rapid regrowth process, therefore the event should be carried out every week. You should also pay special attention to the fact that plucking with tweezers can provoke acute symptoms in the case of chronic or inflammatory diseases.
• Removal with wax. This technique is shown for girls whose hairline is distinguished by large vegetation. In this case, special strips impregnated with a wax substance are applied. They should be glued in the direction of hair growth, after which, with the help of sharp movements, they are torn off. Despite the fact that the procedure is quite painful, its effectiveness is confirmed by numerous reviews. At the end of the event, a special oil is applied to soften the skin and small cuts. It also helps to avoid the development of an allergic reaction.
• The use of various depilation products. In this case, it is best to use specialized creams, the effect of which does not differ in the development of secondary complications for the body. Otherwise, when using cheap or low-quality drugs, their chemical composition adversely affects the skin. A significant advantage is that the constituent elements of the ointments are able to quickly split the follicles and remove the hair that has eaten into the skin. Such funds are used no more than 1 time in 12-14 days.
• Epilation with a laser. It is the most effective and virtually painless method for removing unwanted hair from any area of ​​the body. Most often, a few procedures or a whole course (depending on the amount of hair) is enough to eliminate unwanted vegetation once and for all. The procedure is performed using a special device that has a destructive effect on the subcutaneous follicles. After that, their further growth is impossible.
• Electrolysis. This modern hair removal method is characterized by the effect of a small electric field on the unwanted area. A clear disadvantage is that the procedure is carried out rather slowly, so its effect can be felt after 15-20 sessions. Also for 1 min. no more than 6 hairs can be removed. The use of an electrical appliance may leave behind minor burns or other marks of use. In this case, the hair germinates for a long time - up to 2-3 months.
• Photoepilation. It is characterized by the effect of destroying the hair follicle by exposing it to light rays. The procedure is strictly not recommended for girls with dark skin color, as there is a high risk of getting burned.
• Epic hair removal. Refers to modern methods of hair removal, the functional feature of which is characterized by the simultaneous effect of radio wave and light radiation on the follicle. With this procedure, you can eliminate both dark and gray hair, and bleached, vellus hair.

The hair on a girl's chest, in addition to using various procedures, can be removed using the classic method of shaving, but in this case there is a risk of cutting herself. Therefore, all movements should be performed as smoothly as possible in order to avoid damage to the delicate skin of the areola.

With the wrong shaving technique, the presence of injuries on the nipple can lead to various infectious diseases, which tend to manifest themselves in the future.

It also increases the risk of developing cancer. The main disadvantage of this method is the lack of long-term results. After shaving, hair grows back in 1-2 days.

Also, in order to eliminate unwanted vegetation at home, you can use special epilators that allow you to remove hair for a sufficiently long period. The main disadvantage of their use is the presence of painful sensations, while modern and expensive devices are equipped with an anesthesia function.

Traditional methods

The hair on a girl's chest can be removed using safer methods, which is especially effective in the presence of dangerous pathological processes in the body. The use of various physiotherapeutic or cosmetic measures in this case can cause irreparable harm.

You can quickly and painlessly get rid of unwanted vegetation on the body with the help of special compresses. One of the most popular substances is lemon juice mixed into a uniform consistency with a tincture of dope. This allows you to destroy the base of the follicle, which leads to the process of lightening and death.

Also, to eliminate visual imperfections due to the presence of unnecessarily large vegetation, you can using special blends to lighten hair, which is especially effective in the presence of hard and black hairs. While this will not fix the main problem, it will hide an exciting flaw.

You should pay special attention to the fact that if the hair is practically invisible and its structure is thin enough, it is prohibited to pull it out. Otherwise, it will lead to the process of changing color and thickness for the worse.

It is also not recommended to trim unwanted hairs with scissors. In this case, hair growth is even more activated, as well as their structure will increase. The exception is thinning scissors, which are used together with creams or hair removal in order to avoid severe painful sensations.

Effective treatment

Effective treatment methods should be aimed at eliminating the underlying pathological process that triggers the process of rapid hair growth. In addition to removing unwanted vegetation, this allows you to eliminate hidden disease, which can lead to dangerous complications in the future.

In addition to the therapeutic effect, often simultaneously with salon procedures, can be used hormonal drugs that have a significant effect on the further development of the hairline among women. All of them allow you to stimulate the production of natural hormonal elements, at the same time, - lowering the total amount of the male hormone testosterone.

Modern diagnostic and cosmetic methods can eliminate such an unpleasant symptom as increased hair growth on the chest. Due to their manifestation, many girls begin to feel ashamed of their appearance and body, which leads to a deterioration in well-being and self-confidence.
