If you have hair in unwanted and embarrassing places, you may have considered things like laser hair removal therapy.  But consider the fact that this might not just be unsightly, and it may be better to get to the root of the problem instead.  If you have excessive hair, this means that you have too many androgens, more commonly and abundantly found in men.  These are hormones such as testosterone, and your body is actually more sensitive to these androgens than men are. 

It is not always a sign of this kind of problem, but often is.  Sometimes there’s just a genetic basis for excessive hair growth in your family in general.  However, if you have this problem, you may suffer additionally from Cushing’s syndrome, brain tumors, ovary tumors, etc.  Realistically it depends upon the person, and if you look through your family history and lines, you will have a fair idea.  The symptoms will also give it away if it’s a different problem or just a genetic issue.  Most of the time, it is just genetic and can easily be dealt with using laser therapy, waxing, or otherwise hair removal in general.
