Got Peach Fuzz After Menopause?

Got Peach Fuzz After Menopause?
Got peach fuzz after menopause - this is a question that
seems to be asked more and more by women ending menopause.
While not a sign of menopause, perimenopause, or early
menopause, recent studies seem to indicate peach fuzz after
menopause is often associated with early or very early
onset of menopause.

While not a major issue in contemporary women's health,
there's a seeming, growing phenomenon of peach fuzz after
menopause.

Women's health websites and information sources typically
do not write about this emerging trend but peach fuzz after
menopause is clearly a growing trend. Some reports do,
however, seem to indicate actually starting in
perimenopause, so called "peach fuzz" starts emerging
either on the neck or above the upper lip. Additional
studies are underway to find a scientific explanation or
links between early onset of menopause and peach fuzz.

After doing a search on professional skin care products, it
does not appear there are any natural skin care products
other than the use of peroxide for bleaching.

The change in the action of hormones during menopause can
cause additional hair growth. The most important hormone
in hair growth is testosterone which, while thought to be
only a male hormone, is actually found in females as well.
Levels in males are actually about 10 times higher than the
levels in women. There is a test called the Free
Testosterone Test, which can determine if the cause for
extra testosterone after menopause is from the ovaries, the
adrenal glands, or both.

Sources of women's health information, while not directly
addressing peach fuzz after menopause, indicate there are
drugs that can effectively block the affect of testosterone
on hair follicles. Probably the most effective solution
for peach fuzz after menopause is prescription drugs, which
work by slowing the metabolism of the hair growth. While
it does not eliminate the hair, it significantly slows its
growth.

There are professional skin care products that claim to
eliminate peach fuzz after menopause, but you should remain
skeptical and discuss the option of prescription drugs. As
the trend grows due to the aging boomer population,
professional skin care products will likely emerge and work
satisfactorily.

Summary: The cause for peach fuzz after menopause is
hormone imbalance and typically a rising rate of
testosterone. Prescription drugs are emerging which can
slow down the growth and provide relief without having to
shave facial areas to get rid of unwanted hair.
