| Usage: |
Hirsutism is defined as excessive growth of terminal hair in women and children in a distribution similar to that in post-pubertal men. True hirsutism which is androgen-responsive has to be distinguished from hypertrichosis. PCOS is the most common hyperandrogenic disorder associated with hirsutism. However, androgen-secreting tumors and nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia are other major causes that clinicians should consider. |
