What's the reason for women's long hair

First: genetics, hirsutism has a lot of family and ethnic influence. In some women, the skin is very sensitive, even with low androgen levels, and their hair follicles produce mainly terminal (thick, dark) hair. Then their mothers, grandmothers or sisters may also experience such barriers, and their children are at greater risk.

Second: polycystic ovary syndrome, which is the most common cause of hirsutism in infertile women. Polycystic ovary syndrome can lead to the growth of many small cysts and excessive androgen. The disease is often associated with irregular ovulation, hirsutism, menstrual disorders and obesity.

Third: ovarian tumors, in rare cases, ovarian tumors produce androgen, cause hirsutism, develop rapidly, and even cause masculine characteristics of women, such as a low voice of the clitoris began to grow. Ovarian mass was found in pelvic examination.
