Certain genetic variations are linked to increased androgen levels in PCOS, but more research is needed to understand these connections fully.

Androgenetic alopecia is mainly caused by genetic factors and increased androgen activity, leading to hair follicle miniaturization.

The conclusion is that proper diagnosis and long-term treatment, including medication, hair removal, and lifestyle changes, are important for improving hirsutism, especially in PCOS patients.
