research Comparison of cyproterone acetate plus ethinyl estradiol and finasteride in the treatment of hirsutism
Cyproterone acetate plus ethinyl estradiol is generally more effective in treating hirsutism, but consider side effects and patient characteristics.
research Prevalence of androgenic alopecia in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome and characterization of associated clinical and biochemical features

Hirsutism can be caused by various conditions besides PCOS, and it's important to treat the underlying issue and manage symptoms with medication and cosmetic approaches.
research Surrogate end-points or primary outcomes in clinical trials in women with polycystic ovary syndrome?
The document suggests that clinical trials for PCOS should focus on meaningful primary outcomes like live birth rates, rather than less reliable surrogate markers.

research Exploration of the role of anti-Mullerian hormone and LH/FSH ratio in diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome
The study concluded that both anti-Mullerian hormone and LH/FSH ratio are higher in women with PCOS and combining these markers with BMI could improve diagnosis accuracy.
research Alopecia and the metabolic syndrome
Men with common hair loss may have a higher risk of heart disease and diabetes, and should be checked for these conditions.
research The clinical management of hirsutism
The document concludes that managing hirsutism involves identifying the cause, using a scoring system for severity, combining cosmetic and medical treatments, encouraging weight loss, and providing psychological support, while noting the need for more research on drug treatments.
research Endocrine evaluation of hirsutism
Women with excessive male-pattern hair growth should get a full hormone check-up to find and treat any underlying issues, considering both medical and emotional aspects.
research Insulin resistance and the long-term consequences of polycystic ovary syndrome
