Body Hair Changes
Body hair develops on people during and after puberty, as its growth is related to the level of androgens, or sex hormones, in the individual. It is normal for body hair to change gradually over time as we age, however a sudden increase or loss in body hair should not be ignored, as it could mean that you have a hormone imbalance.
In addition, if you are a woman and experience both excessive hair growth and irregular periods, you may be suffering from polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). PCOS is a condition where your ovaries become enlarged and contain small collections of fluid filled follicles. This condition causes several other symptoms including acne, weight gain and insulin resistance.
