After undergoing a life-saving drug treatment, a 16-year-old girl from China woke up one day to find herself growing thick unsightly hair all over her body, making her look like a man. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Xinhua, the girl’s name is Nana, and she is from Jinhua, Zhejiang province.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was diagnosed with a life-threatening form of aplastic anaemia in 2010 – a condition where the bone marrow is not able produce sufficient new cells to replenish blood cells.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the National Bone Marrow Donor Programme, people with very severe aplastic anaemia are at risk for life-threatening infections or bleeding. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

“The doctor said that the condition was very serious and without treatment, she would die,” the girl’s mother told Xinhua. Nana could not eat and kept vomiting, worrying her family.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her doctor quickly put her on a potent course of drug therapy, and two years later, her blood indicators have returned to normal. However, one shocking side-effect from the therapy is that Nana developed a rare condition called hirsutism.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hirsutism – which is when women grow excessive hair on parts of their body where hair does not normally occur or is minimal – has caused Nana to grow a heavy beard and moustache.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The doctor said that the medication would have very major side-effects. Within a month of taking the drugs, the hair on her arms and face started to thicken, and she even grew a beard,” her mother said.
