Women with androgenetic alopecia have normal levels of most blood steroids and binding proteins, but higher dehydroepiandrosterone. Some also have low "sex hormone-binding globulin" and "corticosteroide-binding globulin" capacity, and high "free androgen index" and "free cortisol index". Diane treatment can normalize these levels and improve hair conditions.

Doctors used a special blood sampling technique to diagnose a woman's rare ovarian tumor that was producing male hormones.

High androgen levels in postmenopausal women may suggest an ovarian tumor, and removing it can improve heart and metabolic health.

A woman's masculine symptoms were caused by a rare tumor in her left ovary, which was found using a special blood test.

The research found that measuring androgens in urine can give extra information about body metabolism and is linked to androgen levels in the blood, especially in young girls.

No link between hair loss and blood groups or Rhesus factor.

Women with androgenetic alopecia often have other symptoms of high androgen levels, requiring further hormone testing.

Spironolactone treatment reduced hair growth and androgen levels in hirsute women, but the overall effectiveness was just adequate.

Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.

A woman's masculine features were caused by a rare ovarian tumor that produced male hormones.

Blood tests can detect ovarian Leydig cell tumors when scans don't, and surgery can confirm and treat these tumors.
