    Glossary Idiopathic Hyperandrogenism

    excessive male hormone production without known cause

    Idiopathic Hyperandrogenism refers to a condition where there is an excessive production of androgens (male hormones) in the body without a known cause. This can lead to symptoms such as excessive hair growth, acne, and irregular menstrual cycles in women. The term "idiopathic" means that the exact cause of the hormone imbalance is unknown, distinguishing it from hyperandrogenism caused by identifiable conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or adrenal gland disorders.
