Hirsutism is abnormal male-pattern hair growth in females due to excess androgens.
research [Effects of androgens on the skin. Therpeutic implications].
Androgens affect skin conditions like acne and hirsutism, treatable with hormone therapy and other methods.
research Male pseudohermaphroditism due to 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency: Studies on the natural history of the defect and effect of androgens on gender role
Individuals with this condition often develop male traits and identities at puberty despite being raised as females.
research Clinical relevance of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone metabolism in women
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone play a role in women's health issues like excess hair and baldness, and treatments blocking these hormones may help.
research Steroidogenesis of the testis – new genes and pathways
New genes and pathways are important for testosterone production and male sexual development.
research Serum C-19 steroid sulphates in females with clinical hyperandrogenism
Women with hyperandrogenism have higher androgen levels and lower SHBG, which may contribute to conditions like excessive hair growth and early puberty.
research Hyperandrogenism: Acne and Hirsutism
Hyperandrogenism in women often causes acne and excess hair, treatable with personalized plans including weight loss, hair removal, and medications.
research Profile of Female Hyperandrogenism at the Medical Clinic II: About 19 Cases
Hyperandrogenism is a common hormonal disorder in women, often linked to PCOS.
research Androgen Resistance Associated With a Qualitative Abnormality of the Androgen Receptor and Responsive to High Dose Androgen Therapy*
High-dose androgen therapy can help manage certain types of androgen resistance.
research A Very Rare Reason for Hyperandrogenism: Adrenal Tumor Case
A young woman had a rare tumor causing high male hormone levels and symptoms like excessive hair and acne. After removing the tumor, her hormone levels returned to normal. Early diagnosis is important.
research [Endocrinologic diagnosis in hirsutism and androgenetic alopecia in women].
Hirsutism and androgenetic alopecia in women are often due to increased androgen effects, and antiandrogen treatment is recommended to prevent further issues.
research Serum Androgens in Normal Prepubertal and Pubertal Children and in Children with Precocious Adrenarche
Androgen levels increase with puberty and are linked to sexual hair development.
research ANTIANDROGENS AND THE SKIN
Antiandrogens can treat acne, hirsutism, and seborrhea by reducing sebum production and androgen action.
research Clinical, ultrasound and hormonal markers of androgenicity in acne vulgaris
Acne severity is linked to higher levels of certain androgenic hormones, even when those levels are within the normal range.
research Clinical applications of antiandrogens
Antiandrogens are effective for conditions like prostate cancer and skin issues, but more research is needed to confirm their benefits and minimize side effects.
research Hyperandrogenic eumenorrheic NON-PCOS women versus women with PCOS after the GnRH-agonist stimulation test preceded by suppression of adrenal steroidogenesis with dexamethasone
PCOS women have more severe metabolic issues and higher androgen levels than hyperandrogenic women without PCOS.
research Acne, Hirsutism, and Alopecia in Adolescent Girls: Clinical Expressions of Androgen Excess
research Non-canonical dimerization of the androgen receptor and other nuclear receptors: implications for human disease
Mutations in certain receptors can cause diseases and offer new treatment options.
research The Effect of Perinatal Blockade of Androgen Receptors on the Expression of Hypothalamic Estrogen Receptor‐a and Sexual Motivation in Male Rats
Blocking androgen receptors early in life increases estrogen levels and reduces sexual motivation in male rats.
research Hyperandrogenism in post-menopausal women: a diagnosis challenge
A woman had high testosterone due to an ovarian issue, which was fixed with surgery.
research Hyperandrogenism: Acne and Hirsutism
Hyperandrogenism, often causing excessive hair growth and acne, can be treated with methods like weight reduction, hair removal, various medications, and in the case of acne, topical treatments.
research Postmenopausal hyperandrogenism of ovarian origin
Postmenopausal women with excess male hormones may have ovarian tumors, and surgery usually cures them.
research Apparent Hyperandrogenemia Due to Immunoassay Interference Resolved by Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry
False high testosterone levels were corrected using a more accurate test.
research Visual Vignette
The woman's symptoms and tests suggest her adrenal glands are producing too many male hormones.
research Estrogen and androgen signaling in the pathogenesis of BPH
Hormonal interactions, especially involving DHT and estrogen, play a key role in BPH development and treatment.
research Approach to Investigation of Hyperandrogenism in a Postmenopausal Woman
Postmenopausal hyperandrogenism, a condition with symptoms like increased hair growth and acne, is usually caused by PCOS but can also be due to other factors. It's diagnosed by checking testosterone levels and treated either by removing the adrenal tumor or through antiandrogen therapy.
research The Rise in Adrenal Androgen Biosynthesis: Adrenarche
Adrenarche increases adrenal androgens around age 6, affecting hair growth and development.
research Adrenal steroid precursors exert potent androgenic action in the hamster sebaceous glands of flank organs and ears.
Certain adrenal hormones can strongly stimulate oil gland growth in hamster skin, similar to male hormones.
research [Hirsutism].
Hirsutism, excessive male-pattern hair in women, can be caused by high androgens or skin sensitivity, diagnosed by testosterone levels, and treated with hair removal and hormone therapy.
