Hirsutism or Hyperandrogenemia: Which Is More Noteworthy for Adolescent Girls with Irregular Menses? A Case-Control Study Based on an Epidemiological Survey

This case-control study aimed to determine whether hirsutism or hyperandrogenemia is more significant in adolescent girls with irregular menses, focusing on early detection of hyperandrogenism-related metabolic issues. The study highlights the importance of identifying hyperandrogenic states in adolescence to positively impact reproductive health and prevent future cardiovascular diseases. By examining the clinical and biochemical hyperandrogenic status, the research provides insights into managing and prioritizing treatment for adolescents with irregular menstrual cycles, potentially improving long-term health outcomes.
