Hormonal treatments can help with hair loss, acne, and excess hair growth, but it takes 3-6 months to see results and patients should know the possible side effects.

Gene mutations can cause problems in male genital development.

Mutations in the androgen receptor gene cause different levels of androgen insensitivity, making it hard to create simple tests for the condition.

The report concludes that PCOS is mainly a condition of excess male hormones and its definition may change as new information is discovered.

Most women with excess male hormones have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, and hormonal therapy can improve symptoms but may cause side effects.

People with hair loss have more androgen receptors and enzymes in certain follicles, with men and women showing different patterns.

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

Most women referred for excess male hormone symptoms had polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), with other conditions being less common.

The Endocrine Society advised against routine testosterone therapy for women, citing a need for more research on long-term safety and a clear definition of androgen deficiency.

The guidelines advise against using testosterone and DHEA in women for most conditions due to safety and effectiveness concerns, but suggest considering testosterone for postmenopausal women with low sexual desire.

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

Androgens may cause hair loss by increasing TGF-beta1 from scalp cells, which inhibits hair cell growth.

High androgen levels in young women with PCOS are linked to higher blood pressure.

Male hormones affect COVID-19 severity and certain drugs targeting these hormones could help reduce the risk.

Targeting androgen receptors could be a promising way to treat skin disorders with fewer side effects.

Androgens have complex effects on hair growth, promoting it in some areas but causing hair loss in others, and our understanding of this is still evolving.

Lowering testosterone speeds up wound healing in male mice.

Hirsutism is more linked to high androgen levels than acne or hair loss, and a mix of hormonal tests is best for diagnosis; certain treatments can reduce symptoms.

Androgens block hair growth by disrupting cell signals; targeting GSK-3 may help treat hair loss.

The conclusion is that managing androgen excess requires long-term treatment, including hormonal contraceptives and androgen blockers, with follow-up after six months.

A three-month treatment with a GnRH agonist significantly lowered androgen levels and 5α-reductase activity in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia.

E211 G>A gene linked to lower risk of severe prostate cancer and hair loss.

Women with PCOS have higher androgen levels that decrease with age but are still higher than in women without PCOS.

Androgens slow hair growth by altering Wnt signaling in balding cells.

Androgen receptors are key for development and health, affecting conditions like prostate cancer and male pattern baldness.

Men with male-pattern baldness have more androgen receptors in their scalp's oil glands, which may contribute to hair loss.

New finasteride solution effectively reduces baldness-causing hormone, potentially with fewer side effects.

Male genital development is driven by androgen signaling and understanding it could help address congenital anomalies.

Androgens may block hair growth signals, targeting this could treat hair loss.

Androgen is important in controlling stem cell differentiation, reducing fat development, and increasing lean mass.
