TLDR Androgen excess disorders in women were effectively treated with spironolactone, estrogen, and dexamethasone.
Androgen excess disorders in women, including acne, alopecia, and hirsutism, were effectively treated with endocrine therapies such as androgen receptor blockers or antagonists, and androgen suppression. Spironolactone, estrogen, and dexamethasone were identified as the most effective treatments. Success depended on careful planning and recognizing that response rates varied among patients, with treatment typically continuing for at least 2 years.
