Visual Signs That You Actually Have Health Problems

Body Hair Changes

All body hair that sprouts during puberty—think hair on your underarms, genitals, and chest hair on guys—is controlled by hormones. Since our estrogen levels drop as we reach middle to later age, body hair growth corresponds by becoming sparser and thinner, too. In fact, most people will see a significant slow down in the production of leg and arm hair.

Having more or less body hair than before can mean that you have a problem with your hormones. If you experience visual changes in body hair as you get older, don't wait too long before you get an expert opinion, especially if the change is extreme.

In men this usually means less body hair, while women may have more. Not fair right? In either case, it is something to get checked out in order to see what treatment could be needed if any.
