This review discusses diagnostic and management approaches for hirsutism, emphasizing that most cases are due to polycystic ovary syndrome or obesity-related disorders, with idiopathic hirsutism often treated cosmetically.

This case report describes a 65-year-old woman with childhood-onset growth hormone deficiency who developed panhypopituitarism, including late-onset secondary hypoadrenocorticism, affecting her respiratory and renal function.

This report presents a rare case where a bilateral ovarian thecoma in a postmenopausal woman led to an unusual pattern of female androgenetic alopecia mimicking male pattern hair loss.

This case report highlights how persistent hyperphosphatemia, albeit often overlooked, can precede clinical acromegaly symptoms in women, complicating diagnosis due to overlapping features with oral contraceptive use and polycystic ovary syndrome.

In this study, hirsutism was the most prevalent skin manifestation among women with PCOS, and a significant association was observed between certain skin changes and hormonal abnormalities such as insulin resistance and elevated prolactin levels.

This study found that serum steroid profiling, particularly 11-deoxycortisol, can effectively differentiate between ACC and ACA, while considering sex differences and functional status for other steroids is important.

In this case study, a woman with congenital adrenal hyperplasia experienced substantial improvement in musculoskeletal and neurobehavioral symptoms after low-dose testosterone therapy, highlighting its potential role in managing chronic glucocorticoid overtreatment effects.

This review discusses the potential benefits and adverse effects of testosterone therapy in women with androgen insufficiency, and highlights the need for further research on its long-term safety and effectiveness.

This review critically evaluates the evidence for SARMs' tissue selectivity and suggests their clinical benefits over traditional androgens are not yet well-supported by robust evidence, underscoring the need for further head-to-head trials.

In this study, the researchers found that alopecia in VDR null mice is likely due to issues with hair cycle initiation rather than defects in keratinocyte proliferation or differentiation.

This study suggests that alopecia in vitamin D receptor null mice is due to impaired initiation of the hair cycle rather than defects in keratinocyte proliferation or differentiation.

In this study, treating prolactinoma with cabergoline normalized prolactin levels and affected some androgen-related parameters, but did not significantly improve hirsutism in affected women.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome have elevated cardiovascular risk markers, with levels being higher in obese participants compared to non-obese participants.

This study found that cyproterone acetate, given with ethinyl oestradiol, significantly reduced hirsutism in women after 12 months, although improvements reversed once cyproterone acetate was stopped.

This study found that Indian women with PCOS following a vegetarian diet had higher pro-inflammatory and lower anti-inflammatory marker levels compared to age and BMI-matched non-vegetarian counterparts.

This study found that the currently established ultrasound cut-off values for diagnosing PCOS are not applicable to Indian women, suggesting that region-specific criteria improve diagnostic accuracy.

This study found that among women with PCOS, higher HOMA-IR levels were associated with acanthosis nigricans, and increased DHEA-SO4, FAI, and FI values were linked to hirsutism.

This study found that the hydroalcoholic extract of the Dorema aucheri plant, especially at a 5% concentration, enhanced diabetic wound healing in male rats, improving re-epithelialization, collagen deposition, and neovascularization more effectively than other tested concentrations.

This review discusses hirsutism management guidelines, recommending androgen testing only for women with abnormal hirsutism scores and advocating for combined therapy approaches depending on severity and underlying conditions, but it reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the use of antimüllerian hormone as a marker of ovarian reserve in infertility diagnosis and treatment, noting it reflects oocyte quantity but not health or pregnancy likelihood.

Finasteride negatively affects fish reproduction and gonadal development.

This study observed that men with a family history of PCOS had lower median sperm concentration and higher rates of alopecia and gynecomastia compared to those without such a family history.

This study found that participation in a training workshop can significantly improve the reliability of evaluating ultrasonographic features of polycystic ovaries, suggesting standardized training modules should be used for consistent diagnosis of PCOS.

This review discusses the psychosocial impact and potential endocrine implications of androgenetic alopecia, particularly noting a moderate impairment in quality of life, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study concluded that neither basal nor ACTH-stimulated 17-OHP concentrations effectively indicate carrier status for 21-hydroxylase deficiency among Slovenian hyperandrogenic women, recommending molecular analysis of the CYP21 gene for reliable screening.

This review found an increasing trend in research on sperm DNA fragmentation over the past 20 years, especially focusing on lifestyle factors, asthenozoospermia, and varicocele, with the TUNEL technique as a predominant method.

This review discusses the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of functional hypothalamic amenorrhea in adolescent girls and reports no new clinical results.

This review examines the evaluation and management of hirsutism and hyperandrogenism in postmenopausal women and reports no new clinical findings.

This case report concludes that a combination of physical examination, hormonal evaluation, and imaging studies is crucial for identifying malignant adrenal masses, with radical excision and adjuvant therapy improving patient outcomes.

Excessive hair growth in women can be treated with medications like spironolactone and finasteride, and male-pattern baldness in women can be improved with similar treatments.
