    process of developing male traits due to male hormones

    Androgenization refers to the process by which the body develops male characteristics due to the influence of androgens, which are male sex hormones like testosterone. This can affect various aspects of the body, including hair growth patterns, voice deepening, and muscle mass. In a medical context, excessive androgenization can lead to conditions such as hirsutism (excessive hair growth) or androgenic alopecia (male-pattern baldness).
