Women with moderate body hair have higher levels of certain hormones and may benefit from treatment that increases sex hormone-binding protein.

Diagnosing hyperandrogenism in women is complex and requires accurate testing methods and consideration of SHBG levels.

Gene mutations can cause problems in male genital development.

The update highlights that non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia is common in women with excess male hormones, requires specific hormone tests for diagnosis, and has various treatment options depending on age and symptoms.
