Patient's question:
One of my girlfriends has very low libido and almost no hair in her genital area. Why?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, after adolescents enter puberty, the growth of pubic hair in their genital area is influenced by the effect of androgens. In males, androgens are secreted by the testes, while in females, there is also 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 genital hair follicles to androgens. If someone does not have pubic hair but is otherwise normal, it may be due to the genital hair follicles being insensitive to their own androgens. This is not a pathological condition and is of no concern. It does not affect physical health, nor does it impact marriage or fertility. Therefore, there is no need to worry about it, and even more so, do not believe in baseless rumors.
