Girls' pubic hair keeps falling off

Girls pay more attention to their hair and take special care of it every day, but few girls pay attention to the pubic hair on their lower body. In fact, pubic hair is basically the same as head hair, and pubic hair will also fall off due to metabolism. Of course, if you find that your pubic hair is suddenly falling out severely, you should pay attention to it.

Normal shedding of pubic hair

Pubic hair is replaced approximately every six months, with about 10-20 hairs falling out every day. As age increases, the secretion of sex hormones gradually decreases, the hair follicles gradually shrink, and the shedding of pubic hair increases. The pubic hair will gradually become sparse and turn from black to white. These are all normal physiological phenomena. Before and after menopause, pubic hair falls out faster. If there are no special abnormal symptoms, it is physiological and there is no need to worry about it.

Causes of premature pubic hair loss

The most common causes of premature pubic hair loss in women are pituitary prolactinoma and hypopituitarism. If pubic hair loss is accompanied by symptoms such as menstrual disorders, amenorrhea, nipple discharge, and headache, you should go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.

Pituitary prolactinoma:

It can occur at any age. The concentration of prolactin in the blood will increase. In addition to galactorrhea, the patient's armpit and pubic hair will fall off.

Hypopituitarism:

It is more common in women with postpartum hemorrhage. The patients are extremely emaciated, suffer from amenorrhea, infertility, gradual loss of hair and pubic hair, weakness, and extremely decreased libido.

Female genital care

Try not to shave your pubic hair

Many women are not used to the thick hair in their private parts and think it affects their appearance. In fact, from a health perspective, these pubic hairs can play an antibacterial role. It acts like eyelashes and nose hairs, protecting these fragile parts. If you shave your pubic hair, you increase the chances of bacterial infection.

In addition, since the skin of the private parts is delicate and has many wrinkles, hair removal may cause more skin wounds, allergies and infections.

Pubic hair keeps your private parts ventilated

Pubic hair, like hair on some other parts of the body, has the function of reducing friction and maintaining ventilation. In terms of reducing friction, the presence of pubic hair can reduce friction between clothing or intense contact when walking and exercising, just as the presence of armpit hair can reduce friction between the arms and armpits. In terms of maintaining ventilation, the presence of pubic hair can also keep the reproductive organs ventilated and avoid being too humid.

How to care for pubic hair

Generally speaking, keeping your private parts clean and dry can also maintain your pubic hair, so basic personal hygiene is very important.
