    Glossary Androgen-Related Conditions

    health issues caused by male hormones like testosterone

    Androgen-related conditions are health issues that arise due to the effects of androgens, which are male hormones like testosterone. These conditions can affect both men and women and include problems such as acne, hirsutism (excessive hair growth), and androgenic alopecia (pattern hair loss). In women, they can also be linked to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which can cause irregular menstrual cycles and fertility issues.
