    excessive male-pattern hair growth in women due to androgens

    Hirsutism is a condition characterized by excessive, male-pattern hair growth in women, typically on areas where men usually grow hair, such as the face, chest, and back. This condition is often caused by an excess of androgens (male hormones) and can be associated with underlying medical issues like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or adrenal gland disorders.
