    The Ferriman-Gallwey score is a clinical tool used to evaluate and quantify the degree of hirsutism, or excessive hair growth, in women. It involves scoring hair growth in nine specific body areas, with higher scores indicating more severe hirsutism. This scale helps healthcare providers diagnose and manage conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and other endocrine disorders.
