The document concludes that identifying the cause of amenorrhea is crucial for proper treatment.
research Current evaluation of amenorrhea
Amenorrhea, or the absence of periods, should be evaluated by age 15 or within five years of early breast development, and is most commonly caused by conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome and hypothalamic amenorrhea.
research Non polycystic ovary syndrome–related endocrine disorders associated with hirsutism
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 Disruption of the hedgehog signaling pathway contributes to the hair follicle cycling deficiency in Vdr knockout mice
Mice without Vitamin D receptors have hair growth problems because of issues in the hedgehog signaling pathway.

Male hormones and their receptors play a key role in hair loss and skin health, with potential new treatments being explored.
research Physical Changes, Laboratory Parameters, and Bone Mineral Density During Testosterone Treatment in Adolescents with Gender Dysphoria
Testosterone treatment effectively causes male physical development in transgender male adolescents but may lead to side effects like acne, higher BMI and blood pressure, lower good cholesterol, and decreased bone density.
research The effects of oestrogens on linear bone growth
Estrogens are key for bone growth spurts in both boys and girls and affect growth into adulthood.
research Efficacy of metformin therapy in adolescent girls with androgen excess: relation to sex hormone–binding globulin and androgen receptor polymorphisms
Metformin works better for adolescent girls with PCOS who have certain genetic variations.
research Targets to treat androgen excess in polycystic ovary syndrome
The conclusion is that while oral contraceptive pills are effective for PCOS-related high androgen levels, new treatments with fewer side effects are needed.
research The Hair Follicle as an Estrogen Target and Source
Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.
research Beyond acne: Current aspects of sebaceous gland biology and function
The sebaceous gland has more roles than just producing sebum and contributing to acne, and new research could lead to better skin disease treatments.
