    Glossary Facial Hirsutism

    excessive facial hair growth in women due to hormonal imbalance

    Facial Hirsutism refers to the excessive growth of coarse, dark hair on a woman's face, typically in areas where men usually grow hair, such as the upper lip, chin, and cheeks. This condition is often caused by an imbalance of hormones, particularly an excess of androgens, and can be associated with underlying conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or adrenal gland disorders.
