L68.0: Hirsutism
The additional hair is mainly on your face, your genital area, or on your chest and abdomen. As a result, your body hair looks rather masculine. This is often not an indicator of ill heath, but it can be cosmetically upsetting for some women.
Often, no cause can be found for this type of body hair. Sometimes the body has too many male sex hormones. This can be caused by certain disorders or certain medications, for example.
