Just found out again how rare my blood group is — O Negative.

No matter where I go, doctors always react like I’m some limited edition item 😭

• I can donate blood to almost anyone

• Hospitals always need it urgently

• But I can only receive O Negative myself

So basically…

I’m everyone’s backup plan, but nobody’s mine 💀

Sometimes it feels cool, sometimes stressful knowing one random emergency call could literally save someone’s life.

Any other O- people here? Or am I part of a secret underground society? 👀

1. Possible causes:

The effect of male hormones:

With age, hormones such as testosterone and its derivatives (DHT) increase their effect on the hair follicles, which causes greater hair growth in areas such as the ears.

2. Aging:

As age advances, changes occur in the distribution of body hair; it decreases on the head, and increases in areas such as the ears and nose.

Increased sensitivity of the hair follicles: Sometimes, the problem does not lie in an increase in hormones.

3. Rare hormonal disorders:

Excessive hair growth can occur in some glandular disorders, but this generally presents along with other notable symptoms.

4. When should we worry and get tested?

- If hair starts growing suddenly and with unusual density.

- Especially in women, when accompanied by excessive hair growth in abnormal areas (for example, as in cases of hirsutism).
