Possible causes of high androgens:

  • Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

  • Adrenal hyperplasia

  • Tumors of the ovaries or adrenal glands

  • Taking certain medications (e.g. steroids)

Symptoms that suggest hormonal imbalance:

  • Increased hair growth on the face, abdomen, chest

  • Irregular or missing periods

  • Acne

  • Increased oiliness of the skin

🔹 2. Age changes and menopause

As a woman ages, her hormonal balance naturally changes. Around and after menopause, estrogen levels drop, and androgens become relatively dominant.

This can lead to:

  • Appearance of facial hair

  • Thinning hair on the scalp

  • Dry skin

🔹 3. Genetic predisposition

Some women have a hereditary tendency to have facial hair. If your mother, grandmother, or sisters also have similar signs, it is most likely an individual trait.
