🔹 4. Obesity and insulin resistance

Fat tissue is involved in hormonal metabolism, and excess weight can stimulate the production of androgens. In addition, insulin resistance – often associated with excess weight – affects hormones and can cause hirsutism (excessive hair growth in a male pattern).

🔹 5. Tumors and serious illnesses

In rare cases, the sudden and pronounced appearance of facial hair may be a sign of a hormone-producing tumor. This requires immediate medical attention.

Alarm signals:

Sharp increase in hair growth
Pronounced masculine facial features
Deepening the voice
Menstrual cycle disorders
