A pilot study conducted among 25 young females aged 18-24 in Kerala, India, assessed the severity of hirsutism using the modified Ferriman-Gallwey (mFG) scoring system. The study found that 48% of participants had normal scores, while 32% had mild and 20% had moderate-to-severe hirsutism. Many participants also reported menstrual irregularities and endocrine comorbidities, such as polycystic ovary syndrome and thyroid disorders. The study concludes that hirsutism is common in young females and may indicate underlying endocrine dysfunction, highlighting the need for early screening and multidisciplinary evaluation. Larger studies are recommended to validate these findings.
