Answer 3

It sounds like you may have a hormonal disorder of sorts. It's important you get to a doctor for testing. I believe your local Planned Parenthood can do some testing (it's affordable there) and then you can take those results to the next level. If you need to.

You could also have POS (Polycistic Ovarian Syndrome). Check out the link below, and see if that's something you should ask your healthcare provider about.

Good Luck!

Answer 4

Your hormones might be  unbalanced. The same thing happened to my mom. She went to the doctor, and they gave her birth control. So I would recommend you do the same. Hope that helps : )

Answer 5

It appears that your case is connected to the growth of unwanted hair but not feeling manly.

If you are not nearing your menopause, your voice has not changed, and your periods are regular you may not bother much about this issue. Otherwise you may consult your gynaecologist for necessary advice.

Please don't shave.  

Answer 6

It's normal, no sweat.

Answer 7

Yeah, I have hair on my stomach, too. I think if you shave it you have to keep it up more often, but waxing will last longer.

As for your upper lip, I use this hair removal cream. It lasts a while and is really easy.

But don't worry, all this hair is normal. If you're embarrassed about it, you can get rid of it in these ways, but don't feel manly. I'm sure you're beautiful :)

Answer 8

Yes! It is natural. The hair on your torso is called 'peach fuzz'. You can't shave it off because it will get more thicker. You can use a good hair removal spray things. Don't pick Nair though because it smells ugly. Don't shave the top of your lip either. You can get a wax. All ladies have that or you can buy a do it yourself kit. Everything is natural. & instead of wasting 5 points in asking a qauestion like this on Yahoo, you can ask Dr.Iris Pager for free at Beinggirl.com. She will answer your question within 2 days. :)

Answer 9

I know this sounds weird, but some women have more testosterone than others, which causes them to get hair in places where many women don't, but many men do.

My boyfriends aunt grows hair on her chin and jaw, she has to shave her face like a man!  But she's not really self-conscious about it, which is cool.

Don't shave it though, that will make it thicker.  Try waxing or bleaching, you will be much happier with the results.  But believe me, this is not abnormal.

Don't feel many!  This is no reason to feel any less of a beautiful woman.

Answer 10

Do you smoke? Smoking can cause excessive body hair. It could possibly also be a hormone imbalance, but it's probably just normal!

Use waxing strips or bleach if you are self concious about it. I wax that strip of hair on my stomach because I don't like it, and its easy to do and only takes a few minutes.

Don't get down on yourself, lots of women have hair in those places! You aren't weird.

Answer 11

It's pretty common, lots of women have it. If it's very dark, coarse hair like the hair under your arms you can ask your doctor to test your testosterone levels (there's a couple hormonal issues that can cause women to grow hair), but if it's thin and just dark enough to see, it's perfectly normal. If it bothers you, waxing, electrolysis and laser hair removal are all very good ways to get rid of it, and the hair on your upper lip can be bleached by special bleach cremes from a drugstore so it can't be seen.

Answer 12

its okay it happens to everyone, don't shave it tho its really important that you don't cause it will grow longer. but if you are really worried maybe see a dermatologist..?

Answer 13

Yeah It is perfectly normal. DO NOT shave it. Hair on the stomache in very normal as is the rest. For your facial hair, I would reccomend maybe bleeching it if its a dark color.

Answer 14

dont shave, wax. it looks better. most people (girls included) have a bit of hair all over them, just short hardly noticeable hair. its probaly hardly noticeable to anybody else

Answer 15

some women have more bodily hair than others, and the examples you give seem fairly normal to me. it may also be due to a hormonal imbalance. you may like to try waxing/depilating - slightly painful, but the hair takes longer to grow back, and unlike shaving generally grows back finer rather than thicker. or you could research electrolysis if you want to permanently remove the hair.

Answer 16

First go to a doctor for sure. My second thought is you must be too hairy. Right?
