Armpit and pubic hair loss

Introduction Xi's syndrome - anterior pituitary hypofunction (Simon-Siehan syndrome) is a clinical syndrome of multiple pituitary hormone secretion caused by multiple causes, secondary hypogonadism, thyroid, and adrenal insufficiency. Adrenal insufficiency - When most of the adrenal glands on both sides are destroyed, there is a manifestation of various corticosteroid dysfunction, called adrenal insufficiency. Both the above-mentioned diseases can cause pubic hair and pubic hair loss.

Cause

Causes of pubic hair and pubic hair loss:

The mane and pubic hair fall off to the hospital for endocrine examination, to rule out the pubic hair loss caused by the hormone level, and to identify the cause of the symptomatic treatment. It may also be: pituitary tumor, hypothalamic lesion, pituitary avascular necrosis, surgical radiotherapy and trauma in the sellar region, infection and inflammation, long-term treatment of glucocorticoids, and pituitary apoplexy.

Examination and diagnosis of pubic hair and pubic hair loss:

1. There are primary causes of infection: such as postpartum hemorrhage, pituitary tumors, pituitary surgery or radiation therapy, craniocerebral trauma, infection or inflammation (tuberculosis, syphilis, meningoencephalitis), systemic diseases (leukemia, lymphoma, cerebral artery Hardening, malnutrition) and immune pituitary inflammation.

2. Gonadotropin and prolactin secretion deficiency group: postpartum no milk, amenorrhea, yin, sputum, eyebrows shedding, sparse (male beard scarce), loss of libido, disappearance, external genital atrophy, uterus, breast atrophy (male impotence , testicles, prostate atrophy).

3. Thyroid-stimulating hormone deficiency group: less gas lazy words, apathy, mental retardation, slow movement, loss of appetite, chills, less sweat, dry skin, facial swelling, yellow, and even mucous edema.

4. Adrenocortical hormone deficiency group: dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, weight loss, blood pressure drop, easy infection and syncope, even shock, coma.

5. Pituitary crisis; if there are various kinds of stress, infection, surgery, trauma, mental stimulation, digestive tract diseases, certain drugs (sedation, anesthetics and hypoglycemic drugs, etc.) can aggravate the primary disease and induce crisis occur.

Differential diagnosis

Two diseases that are easily confused between mane and pubic hair:

1. Xi's syndrome - anterior pituitary hypofunction (Simon-Siehan syndrome) is a clinical sign of hypothyroid hormone secretion caused by multiple causes, secondary hypogonadism, thyroid and adrenal insufficiency group.

2. Adrenal insufficiency - When most of the adrenal glands on both sides are destroyed, there is a manifestation of various corticosteroid dysfunction, called adrenal insufficiency.
