    Glossary Androgen Hypersecretion

    excessive production of male sex hormones by endocrine glands

    Androgen hypersecretion refers to the excessive production of androgens, which are male sex hormones like testosterone, by the body's endocrine system. This condition can lead to symptoms such as excessive hair growth (hirsutism), acne, and in severe cases, conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in women. It can be caused by various factors, including adrenal gland disorders or tumors.
