Okay, so a few mins ago i was in the toilet. as i got my penis out, about 5 pubes came out aswell

And yesterday, i tugged at them, and about 12 came out

I'm only 13 and I started puberty when I was 11. Is there something rong with me?

I would definitely talk to your doctor about it as you may have a hair loss condition. Hopefully you wont and there may be something they can give you to help with it. I wouldnt get too worried about it. I am sure many other people are going through exactly the same thing. I wouldnt suggest pulling them out even if they do come out easily.

I kinda smiled at that when you said I would try pulling them out.

ANyway, I'm not sure I really wanna go to a doctor, and I don't wanna tell my parents

Is there any ways I can see if I hav got a problem instead of going to the doctors?

michael is right mate go to see your doctor. and yea dont pull them. the only other way to see if you have a problem is go and ask the local pharmacist, they usually give some good advice. the only thing you might find is that they say you need to have an adult with you for them to speak to you about health. hope you get it sorted. its nothing to be embarrassed about. go see your doctor.

During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Pubic hair loss. Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis. Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:

* How long have you had pubic hair loss? - to determine if acute or chronic.
* Are there other areas of the body involved in hair loss? - Pubic hair loss may occur for many of the same reasons as any hair loss.
* Is the hair loss from the pubic area focal or diffuse?
* If the hair loss from the pubic area is focal, is there a rash in the area of hair loss? - If rash is present must consider tinea, lupus erythematosus, psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis. If rash is not present, should consider alopecia areata, syphilis, burns and other injuries to the pubic skin.
* Have you recently been pregnant? - e.g. all types of hair gets stronger during pregnancy and then falls out after the birth.

Hope that helps a little at least.

Thank you, I read it, and I don't think there is anything wrong

It's a bit strange though how I lose them that easy

Thanks for going out of you way to help me Michael, I owe ya one.

im not sure but i think most ppl lose some pubes every now and then. i asked my hubby for you and he said he loses some every now and then. dont worry too much.

Michael · 20-11-08, 11:09 PM

A few falling out naturally can be expected. If say 10 or more are falling out if you brushed your hand through them on a daily basis then I would certainly see the doc to check you over.

bows babe · 20-11-08, 11:10 PM

i agree

Mr.Tony · 20-11-08, 11:10 PM

Thanks granny and michael, I think I'm alright. If I start to think it is a problem, I'll post here again

Thanks!
