Experts recommend using evidence-based methods to diagnose and treat hirsutism, focusing on symptoms and underlying causes.

The document concludes that Borrelia afzelii causes a skin condition in France, a gene is linked to hair loss in Caucasian women, and various genetic mutations affect skin diseases.

Antiandrogens and androgen inhibitors like spironolactone, finasteride, and dutasteride can treat hair loss and skin conditions, but they have risks and side effects, including potential harm to pregnant women and risks of cancer and heart issues. Herbal remedies also have antiandrogenic effects but lack safety validation.

Finasteride effectively treats hair loss and enlarged prostate in men, with mild side effects.

Minoxidil causes excessive hair growth in almost all patients.

Glucocorticoids are powerful anti-inflammatory drugs that must be used carefully to avoid serious side effects.

Scientists have developed a new method to detect steroid abuse in athletes using cell-based tests, which could be the future of anti-doping methods.

Finasteride helps treat skin issues like acne and baldness by blocking testosterone conversion.

The study found that urine metabolites M1b or M4 are the best indicators of ATD use in horses, with detection possible up to 77 hours in urine and 28 hours in blood.

Most patients improved with oral contraceptives, but some needed additional treatment.

A thorough diagnostic process and teamwork are crucial for managing complex hyperandrogenism in postmenopausal women.

Creating stronger blockers for skin enzymes might lead to better treatment for conditions like acne and excessive hair growth.

Genetic mutations can affect female sexual development, requiring personalized medical care.

FAGA diagnosis uses blood tests and trichoscopy, with treatments like topical minoxidil, oral anti-androgens, and hormone-modulating drugs.

Finasteride slowly binds to 5-alpha-reductase, affecting enzyme stability and inhibitor potency.

Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.

New compounds may soon be tested to treat excessive hair growth in women.

The girl's unexpected pubic hair growth led to a diagnosis different from complete androgen insensitivity syndrome.

Dihydrotestosterone increases the activity of an enzyme in pubic skin cells that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone.

The document concludes that targeting 5α-reductase, the androgen receptor, and hair growth genes, along with using compounds with anti-androgenic properties, could lead to more effective hair loss treatments.

The research showed that CRISPR/Cas9 can fix mutations causing a skin disease in stem cells, which then improved skin grafts in mice, but more work on safety and efficiency is needed.

Specialized ribosomes affect aging in human skin cells.

The enzymes 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase help create brain-active substances from progesterone and testosterone, which could be used for treatment, but more research is needed to ensure their safety and effectiveness.

The testes produce sperm and hormones essential for male development.

Myrtle has various health benefits and potential for medicine development.

Androgens are important for female fertility and could help in IVF treatment, but also play a role in causing PCOS.

An extract from Quercus acutissima bark was found to reduce sebum production and block an enzyme linked to acne.

New treatments for enlarged prostate are being developed, some of which may be more effective than current medications.

A 17-year-old female with adrenogenital syndrome produces very high levels of androgens, which prevent complete feminization despite high estrogen doses.
