It's not fair that women's leg hair is disgusting, while men's leg hair makes people feel sexy.
The so-called "good man is full of hair", seeing the more hair on the man's body, many people feel masculine. However, some men don't have much leg hair, or even no hair at all, what is the reason for this? Could it be that the kidney function is not good? Don't rush to conclusions, let's find out first.
Causes of low leg hair in men:
1. Environmental impact
The body hair of the human body grows mainly to protect against the cold, so careful people will find that people living in the south have less leg hair, while those living in the north have thicker leg hair.
To put it another way, you can understand that Africans are in the tropics, and their hair growth is relatively sparse, while Caucasians are at a relatively high latitude and the climate is relatively cold, so in order to resist the stimulation of the cold, they will grow thicker hair, and the skin of Caucasian people is relatively white, and the amount of hair will appear more.
2. Genetic influence
Leg hair contains body hair, and the amount of leg hair in each person is also affected by the genetics of the parents. For example, if the parents themselves belong to people with more vigorous body hair, then their offspring, whether male or female, are likely to grow vigorous body hair, and conversely, the body hair of the parents is relatively scarce, and the offspring will grow less body hair.
3. The influence of hormone secretion
The more androgens a man secretes, the more vigorous the body hair will be, so the leg hair will be particularly obvious, so the amount of leg hair can show the androgen secretion of men.
If a man's androgen is abnormal, leg hair will fall out and grow slower and grow less often. Only such men have physiological characteristics such as inconspicuous Adam's apple and thin voice.
4. Aging
When anyone enters old age, the body's function will begin to decline, and after the male hormone secretion begins to decrease, the body hair will slowly fall out, and the leg hair will naturally decrease.
And it's hard to grow back after those leg hairs fall out, so the older you get, the less leg hair you get. Others experience hair loss and baldness.
Is less leg hair a sign of bad kidneys?
There is no direct connection between less leg hair and poor kidney function, you know, the kidney is mainly to excrete metabolic waste in the body, maintain the body's water and electrolytes, acid-base balance of internal organs, with the kidney can also produce urine, absorb nutrients to keep the body's functions stable, but it is not responsible for hair growth.
If the kidneys are not good, the human body will be affected by the following ways:
1. Metabolites and harmful substances cannot be excreted
The human body is metabolizing anytime and anywhere, so the metabolic waste and harmful substances produced in this process need to be processed by the kidneys and then excreted from the body. When there is a problem with the kidneys, these metabolic wastes and harmful substances will remain in the human body, causing various damage to the body.
2. Abnormal urination
The kidneys are responsible for the survival of urine, once the kidney function is abnormal, it may affect the production of urine and the nature of urine, such as proteinuria, hematuria, frequent urination and other symptoms, some patients will have edema of the limbs and eyelids because of a large amount of water and sodium retention in the body, and when the disease develops severely, it will also cause edema of the whole body.
3. Backache
Most people with bad kidneys often have symptoms of backache, the main reason is because the position of the kidney is located in the waist, once the kidney function declines and the kidney cells are damaged, it will make people feel obvious soreness in the waist. In fact, if you suffer from nephritis and kidney stones, your kidneys will be repeatedly stimulated, and the symptoms of waist pain will be more obvious.
Fourth, blood pressure increases
When kidney disease progresses to a severe condition, it will cause renal hypertension, dizziness, headache, and a significant increase in blood creatinine during examination, as well as nausea, loss of appetite, and weight loss.
According to the above, it can be seen that the lack of leg hair in men has little to do with poor kidneys, and the factors that directly affect the amount of leg hair in men mainly include four reasons: environment, genetics, hormone secretion and aging.
If a man has symptoms such as backache, foam in the urine, increased blood pressure, and edema, it is necessary to consider that the function of nephritis is abnormal, and it is best to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
