Spironolactone improved symptoms in women with hormonal imbalances and had few side effects.

Finasteride changes hormone levels and certain proteins in rats, but these effects can be reversed after stopping the drug.

Clinical signs of hyperandrogenism are related to female pattern hair loss severity, but biochemical markers are not.

Hair loss, known as Androgenetic Alopecia, is often caused by hormones and can be diagnosed using noninvasive techniques. Treatments include topical minoxidil and oral finasteride, with new treatments being explored. There may also be a link between this type of hair loss and heart disease risk.

The case highlights the complexity of diagnosing high testosterone in older women and the need for thorough testing.

Surgical removal of a rare ovarian tumor improved symptoms and hormone levels in a postmenopausal woman.

Leydig cell tumors can cause high testosterone and symptoms in postmenopausal women, and removing them improves symptoms.

High doses of testosterone disrupt hormone levels and receptor expression in the uterus, affecting fertility.

The desmopressin stimulation test helped identify an adrenal cause for a patient's Cushing's syndrome.

The document concludes that doctors should thoroughly check postmenopausal women with sudden increased male traits for rare conditions like androgen-producing endometrial cancer.

A woman's male-pattern facial hair growth was caused by a rare malignant ovarian tumor that was difficult to diagnose and treat.

A woman's increased facial hair and hair loss were caused by a rare ovarian tumor, cured by surgery.

A woman's excessive hair growth was linked to a rare case of high testosterone caused by a prolactin-producing pituitary tumor.

Metformin lowers prolactin in women without PCOS but not in those with PCOS, where it reduces other hormones instead.

The study suggests a possible increase in androgen receptors in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, but more research is needed.

A woman's high testosterone levels and related symptoms improved after ovary removal surgery.

The patient likely has Chrousos syndrome, a rare condition causing insensitivity to glucocorticoids, requiring high-dose dexamethasone treatment.

Androgenetic alopecia, or hair loss, is caused by a mix of genetics, hormones, and environment, where testosterone affects hair growth and causes hair to become smaller and grow for a shorter time.

The girl's hirsutism and menstrual issues were caused by a benign ovarian tumor, which was successfully removed.

The case shows the importance of quick and thorough evaluation of adrenal tumors to prevent rapid disease progression and poor outcomes.

The runner's bone injuries were linked to untreated Celiac Disease and low energy availability affecting her bone density.

The study found that imaging might miss small ovarian tumors causing high testosterone, and suggested using certain testosterone levels and treatment responses to identify these tumors.

A woman's severe male-like symptoms were caused by a rare, benign tumor in her ovary that produced male hormones.

A woman with Cushing's syndrome improved after surgery to remove an adrenal tumor.

The removal of the adrenal tumor improved the patient's symptoms and reduced androgen levels, indicating successful surgery.

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

High insulin levels are more common and a better predictor of carbohydrate issues in women with PCOS than glucose tolerance tests.

A 73-year-old woman's unusual hair loss and growth led to the discovery of a rare condition causing too much testosterone, which improved after her ovaries were removed.

Female pattern hair loss severity is linked to physical signs of high androgens, not blood hormone levels.
