Androgen suppression therapy (AST) doesn't significantly lower bladder cancer risk, but using finasteride, a type of AST, might reduce it. AST decreases recurrence-free survival but doesn't affect overall survival or progression-free survival. More research is needed to understand AST's benefits.

The hormonal contraceptive combination effectively reduces androgen excess and improves PCOS symptoms like acne, hair loss, and menstrual issues.

High levels of fatty acids are linked to increased androgen production and inflammation in women with PCOS, which may affect IVF outcomes.

Higher androgen receptor levels in bald areas may cause hair loss, while estrogen receptors have less impact.

The document suggests that male hormones likely affect hair growth and baldness, and future treatments might involve stem cells and androgen-independent cells.

Human sebaceous glands contain enzymes that affect androgen production and may influence sebum production and acne.

Isotretinoin improves severe acne without changing androgen or insulin levels but may increase body weight and triglycerides.

Statins may help treat PCOS by lowering androgen levels and improving cholesterol.

Hormonal contraceptives can help treat acne by affecting sebum production and androgen levels.

Low and ultralow doses of flutamide can cause liver damage in young women with high androgen levels, regardless of dose or birth control use, with higher risk for those with higher BMI and liver enzyme levels before treatment.

Men with male-pattern baldness have higher levels of certain testosterone metabolites and may have more active androgen metabolism.

3α, 17β-androstanediol-glucuronide is not a useful marker for androgen excess but may help monitor certain treatments.

The modified Ferriman-Gallwey method is a useful tool for diagnosing hirsutism.
