Low-dose finasteride effectively treats hirsutism, is safe, and cost-effective.
research The therapeutic use of androgens in women
Testosterone replacement may improve sexual desire and bone health in women with low androgen levels, but more research is needed on its long-term safety.
research Endogenous retinoids in the hair follicle and sebaceous gland
