Testing basal 17-HP levels is a good way to screen for nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia in women with high androgen levels.

Most women with PCOS have high levels of male hormones, and free testosterone is the best marker for this.

Testosterone therapy seems safe for postmenopausal women for a few years, but more research is needed for long-term effects.

Spironolactone can reduce hair growth in women with hirsutism.

All three treatments reduce hirsutism, but spironolactone works best long-term.
