Rare ovarian tumors can cause hyperandrogenism, even if imaging appears normal.

Hirsutism in women can be a cosmetic issue or a sign of hormonal imbalance, treatable with hormonal and cosmetic methods.

Androgen receptor activity is influenced by hormones, co-factors, modifications, and mutations.

Antiandrogens affect androgen-dependent body functions and are used for various medical conditions, with some risks like fetus feminization, but new forms like 17α-propylmesterolone show promise for acne without systemic effects.
