The Role and Functions of Pubic Hair in Adults
The lutinizing hormone (LH) stimulates puberty when the hormone begins
to be released from the pituitary gland. This causes estrogen to be
released in females and testosterone in males. LH interacts with
estrogen, testosterone, and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) to cause
breast and penis development, pubic hair and auxillary hair growth, and
voice change. Adrenal androgens also play a role, and only progesterone
is involved in female development.
Testosterone is produced by specialized cells (Leydig cells) in the male testes and the female ovaries. They do this by receiving signals from your anterior pituitary gland. The pituitary senses the need for more testosterone and signals the Leydig cells with a hormone known as “luteinizing hormone”. Cholesterol (yes the ugly blood level doctors try to get us to reduce is actually very much needed in our bodies) is used to make steroid hormones known as progesterone and progenolone. These are then transformed into testosterone. The luteinizing hormone, coming from your pituitary gland, increases the rate at which this happens.
Once testosterone is made, it begins to circulate around the body looking for receptor sites to attach too. Known as “androgen receptors” (in the case of hair), they reside in an area of your hair follicle called your dermal papilla. Once there, the testosterone (androgen) binds to androgen receptors and initiates any altered gene expression. This will either help the follicle or hurt it, depending on the gene expressed.
From some social experiment, we can experience the reason why people feel like emotionally weak in attraction.
For others, though, this hair loss can be traumatic. Yet another sign of the advancing years, it can leave us feeling less attractive to our partners, less 'womanly'.
And some women actually feel quite embarrassed by the extra 'visibility' of the genital area, which was previously rather well hidden.

In conclusion, as we age, our bodies undergo a range of changes that can affect our health and well-being. However, there are steps that can be taken to maintain and improve health, such as engaging in regular physical activity, eating a healthy diet, and managing chronic conditions. It is also important to stay connected with healthcare providers to address any concerns or health issues that may arise.
