It can also be caused by abnormally high levels of these hormones.
Some medicines promote Hirsutism, such as birth control pills, hormones and anabolic steroids.
Women of Mediterranean ancestry, Hispanic women and African American women tend to have more body hair than women of Native American or Japanese ancestry. The condition seems to run in families and your doctor may want to run some tests to find out what the underlying cause may be. If you're overweight, lose it.
