Excess male hormones in postmenopausal women can cause health issues and increase the risk of heart disease and diabetes; treatment depends on the cause.

Androgens like testosterone are important hormones for both men and women, made differently in each sex and affecting the body by regulating genes and quick interactions with cell components.

The conclusion is that while oral contraceptive pills are effective for PCOS-related high androgen levels, new treatments with fewer side effects are needed.

Removing both ovaries treated the woman's excess male hormone symptoms.

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

Free fatty acids may increase androgen production, potentially contributing to polycystic ovary syndrome.

Metformin can help diagnose and treat high testosterone levels in women, often due to insulin resistance rather than a tumor.

PCOS is diagnosed when at least two of these three features are present: polycystic ovaries, irregular ovulation, and high androgen levels.

Early adrenal gland maturation in young children can be normal, but other serious conditions should be ruled out first.

The document concludes that a systematic approach is crucial to identify causes of androgen excess in women beyond the most common cause, Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Understanding how androgens and their receptors work can lead to improved treatments for skin diseases.

Androgen-producing ovarian tumors can cause male-pattern hair loss in women.

Antiandrogens can help treat skin conditions like acne and excessive hair in women when used carefully.

A woman's severe hirsutism was caused by Leydig cell tumors in her ovaries, which improved after surgery.

Acne is linked to inflammation and insulin resistance, and is associated with various syndromes that require different treatments.

To diagnose Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, two out of three signs—irregular periods, high male hormone levels, or cysts on the ovaries—are needed.

The study concluded that androstendione and DHEA are important for diagnosing high male hormone levels in women with excessive hair growth.

Some conditions mimic PCOS symptoms and need careful diagnosis to treat potentially serious health issues.

Hormones, especially androgens, play a key role in causing acne, and treatments like hormone control pills and hormone-blocking medications can help.
