This paper discusses the potential of targeting fibrosis in addressing lower urinary tract symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia, but it provides no new clinical findings and highlights the need for further research.

This review highlights that pharmacologic therapy for hirsutism can effectively decrease hair growth, normalize menstrual cycles, and reduce endometrial cancer risk, with improvements in physical and mental well-being and minimal serious side effects reported.

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.

This case report describes a woman with virilization syndrome who experienced a reduction in androgen levels and reversal of alopecia after removal of a Leydig cell tumor from her ovary.

Most women with excessive hair growth have PCOS; treatment varies and focuses on preventing new hair, with electrolysis as the only permanent removal method.

This study found an increased risk of intraoperative iris billowing in rabbits treated with finasteride, similar to those treated with tamsulosin, suggesting further research in humans is needed.

This review discusses idiopathic hirsutism and suggests that combination treatment, including androgen suppression and cosmetic methods, is most effective, but notes that its pathogenesis remains unclear.

A case study reported a 15-year-old boy with a diagnosis of giant folliculosebaceous cystic hamartoma on his right buttock, characterized by malformed hair follicles and sclerotized collagen.

This study describes a postmenopausal woman's diagnosis with ovarian hyperthecosis, confirmed by a GnRHa test normalizing testosterone, highlighting hormone therapy as a therapeutic option when surgery is not feasible.

This case report describes a rare occurrence of giant bilateral adrenal myelolipomas in a 28-year-old female with CAH, emphasizing that large, hormonally active, or painful myelolipomas should be surgically removed.

This review discusses the causes, evaluation, and treatment options for hirsutism in women, but reports no new clinical results.

This review examined various treatments for hirsutism and found low to very low quality evidence suggesting that flutamide and spironolactone may help reduce hair growth, while metformin was ineffective.

This case study describes a rare steroid cell tumor of the ovary in a 42-year-old woman, highlighting its virilizing effects and the importance of thorough follow-up due to its potential for malignancy.

This study found that finasteride administration for more than one month before TURP surgery significantly reduces blood loss in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This case report discusses a 17-year-old in Haiti diagnosed with a rare ovarian Sertoli-Leydig tumor, emphasizing the importance of considering future fertility and psychosocial effects when managing such conditions.

This case study reports that a virilizing Leydig cell type ovarian tumor in a 40-year-old woman caused hyperandrogenism and virilization symptoms, which improved post-surgery.

This study discusses the potential of phytochemicals, such as isoflavones and polyphenols, to manage PCOS symptoms by improving insulin resistance, regulating hormones, and reducing cyst size, highlighting their promise as alternative treatments given the limitations of current pharmacological options.

This collection of articles in AOGS includes findings on tetranectin as a possible prognostic marker for advanced ovarian cancer, and the effectiveness of tension-free vaginal tape for recurrent stress urinary incontinence.

In this case report, researchers detailed a giant proliferating pilomatrixoma in a 36-year-old woman, emphasizing the importance of complete excision to prevent recurrence or potential malignant transformation, distinguishing it from malignancies like angiosarcoma or melanoma.

This study examined 16 sporadic trichoblastic tumors and found that although one showed malignant transformation, clinical follow-up revealed no residual or metastatic disease. RNA sequencing indicated a high tumor mutational burden and absence of a UV-related signature, helping to distinguish these tumors from similar growths.

This case report and literature review describes a 27-year-old woman with a Sertoli Leydig cell tumor causing testosterone-related symptoms and highlights normalization of hormone levels after surgical treatment.

This retrospective study found that serum hormone levels and MRI detection of ovarian nodules contributed to distinguishing virilizing ovarian tumors from ovarian stromal hyperthecosis in postmenopausal women, though histopathology remains crucial for diagnosis.

This article reviews the physiology, causes, and treatments of hirsutism and reports no new research findings.

This review explores various therapeutic options for managing female hirsutism, emphasizing the effectiveness of low-dose finasteride and cyproterone acetate, but it presents no new clinical results.

This case report describes a patient with an ovarian steroid cell tumor that initially presented as non-classical adrenal hyperplasia, emphasizing the difficulty in differential diagnosis with hyperandrogenism and the importance of close clinical monitoring.

This review examines the causes, assessment, and treatments of hirsutism and highlights the need for future research in managing this condition but presents no new research findings.

This case report details a 26-year-old woman with a rare large functional adrenal myelolipoma, characterized by elevated hormone levels and requiring surgical intervention.

This case study reported a 34-year-old woman presenting with secondary amenorrhea, hirsutism, and obesity showed elevated testosterone and anti-Müllerian hormone levels, leading to the exclusion of nonclassical congenital adrenal hyperplasia as a diagnosis.

This case study describes a 15-year-old girl with a Sertoli–Leydig cell tumor who showed high androgen levels and steroidogenic responses similar to patients with polycystic ovary syndrome before surgery.

This study found that using fenugreek seed extract significantly reduced ovarian volume, cyst size, and prolactin levels in women with PCOS over 12 weeks, with the majority achieving regular menstrual cycles and improved insulin sensitivity.
