Patient's question:
One of my girlfriends has very low libido and almost no pubic hair. Why?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, after adolescence begins, the pubic hair starts to grow from the hair follicles in the pubic area due to the effect of androgens. In males, androgens are secreted by the testes, while in females, there is a certain amount of androgens, which are secreted by the adrenal cortex and ovarian stroma. Regardless of gender, the presence or absence and density of pubic hair are related to the level of androgens in the body and the sensitivity of the pubic hair follicles to androgens. If someone does not have pubic hair but is otherwise normal, it may be due to the pubic hair follicles being insensitive to their own androgens. This is not a medical condition and is not a problem. It does not affect physical health, nor does it affect marriage or fertility. Therefore, there is no need to worry about it, and even more so, do not believe in baseless rumors.
