The exact cause of increased 5α-reductase activity leading to hirsutism in women is still unknown.

Androgens, male hormones, play a role in both men and women's health, and testosterone therapy can help women with low levels, but it's not suitable for pregnant or lactating women, or those with certain conditions.

A woman with a rare adrenal tumor and hormonal disorder had improved testosterone levels after surgery, but her menstrual irregularities continued.

Women with PCOS have higher androgen levels that decrease with age but are still higher than in women without PCOS.

A subtle androgen receptor abnormality can allow normal male development and sometimes fertility despite partial androgen resistance.
