Q. What causes unwanted hair growth?

A. 1)Superfluous hair growth is often the result of normal biological changes which females undergo throughout life. As a woman advances through puberty,menstruation, pregnancy and menopause, she may experience fluctuations in hormonal levels which may cause increased hair growth in an area that has never been affected. 2) Excess hair may also be due to such diverse causes as heredity, certain medications and stress.
