This study observed a 19.7% prevalence of polycystic ovarian syndrome among Afro-Caribbean women in Tobago, a rate higher than that reported in North American studies.

In this study, patients with androgenic alopecia were found to have higher levels of insulin, glucose, and HOMA-IR compared to healthy individuals, suggesting distinct metabolic profiles that may contribute to the condition's development.

This review discusses the complexities of managing polycystic ovarian syndrome in females, examining its various phenotypes and treatment options, but it does not present new clinical findings.

This case report involved a premenopausal woman with rapidly progressing virilizing symptoms caused by a rare sertoliform endometrioid carcinoma of the ovary. Following surgical intervention, her symptoms improved, highlighting the importance of recognizing virilizing symptoms as potential indicators of low-grade ovarian malignancies in similar cases.

This study observed that women with PCOS from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa had significantly higher serum PSA levels, which positively correlated with hirsutism, testosterone, and DHEAS levels compared to healthy controls.

This study found that polycystic ovary syndrome and idiopathic hirsutism are the main causes of hirsutism in the women studied at a gynecology clinic, accounting for about 94% of cases.

This study found that anovulatory PCOS patients were younger, had longer menstrual cycles, and higher systolic blood pressures compared to ovulatory patients.

This case report describes a rare instance of virilizing androgen production due to an ovarian serous cystadenoma in a 59-year-old woman, with testosterone levels normalizing after its removal.

This case report describes a 23-year-old woman with an adult granulosa cell tumor of the ovary, whose symptoms and hormone levels improved significantly after surgical removal of the tumor.

This case study reports a rare instance of an estradiol-secreting adrenocortical carcinoma in a 58-year-old male, causing feminization and Marie-Antoinette syndrome, with potential paraneoplastic aortitis.

This case report highlights a novel NR5A1 gene variant associated with a severe 46,XY disorder of sex development, stressing the importance of genetic screening in similar cases.

This case study highlights the complexity of managing PCOS and its symptoms in transmen, suggesting hormonal fluctuations may lead to symptomatic relief with low dose estradiol.

This case study reports that immunotherapy with ipilimumab and nivolumab induced hypophysitis in a patient with renal cell carcinoma, emphasizing the need for careful monitoring of endocrine function in such treatments.

This report discusses the challenges of interpreting bone mineral density in transgender individuals undergoing hormone therapy and highlights the lack of guidelines for assessing fracture risk or BMD results in this population.

This study found that among women with polycystic ovarian disease, 72% experienced infertility, indicating a correlation between PCOD and difficulties in conceiving.

This study concluded that STK11 gene polymorphisms were not predictive of metformin response in women with PCOS, though they may influence alopecia and hirsutism.

This study found that acupressure on specific points improved health-related quality of life and reduced total testosterone levels and clinical symptoms in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome compared to controls.

PCOS management includes lifestyle changes and medications to improve fertility.

This study found a correlation between polycystic ovarian disease and infertility among women, with 72% of participants experiencing difficulty conceiving.

This autobiographical case study describes a 25-year-old woman with PCOS who successfully managed her symptoms using hormonal therapy, including oral contraceptives and Myo-Inositol, leading to normalized menstrual cycles and the resolution of most symptoms.

This case report describes an isolated DHEA-S secreting adrenocortical carcinoma in a 52-year-old woman who presented without typical hyperandrogenic symptoms.

This study found that women with post-adolescent acne experience marked menstrual irregularities, polycystic ovaries, androgenetic alopecia, hirsutism, and metabolic syndrome, but insulin resistance and dyslipidemia may not significantly contribute to their acne's pathogenesis.

This review discusses the role of sex hormones, particularly estrogen and progesterone, in melasma pathogenesis and suggests that progesterone in oral contraceptives may help prevent melasma by regulating melanocyte proliferation.

This case report describes a 13-year-old with DSD raised as female, exhibiting hoarseness and clitoral enlargement, with hormonal assessments not indicating common related deficiencies.

This case report describes a 48-year-old woman with a history of PCOS and chemotherapy-induced menopause who was found to have a rare ovarian steroid cell tumor causing postmenopausal hyperandrogenism.

This review emphasizes the importance of endocrinologic evaluation in acne patients due to its association with endocrine disorders like hyperandrogenism; it reports no new clinical results.

This source outlines various antiandrogen and androgen inhibitor drugs used to treat cutaneous disorders of hyperandrogenism, detailing their mechanisms, uses, dosages, and side effects, with emphasis on spironolactone, finasteride, dutasteride, and oral contraceptives.

This case report details a post-menopausal woman with hirsutism and virilization due to rare Leydig cell tumors in both ovaries, underscoring the challenge of detecting such tumors with standard imaging.

This case report highlights Leydig cell hyperplasia as a rare cause of increased testosterone and postmenopausal hirsutism, resolved after bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in a 64-year-old woman.

In this case study, laparoscopic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was associated with reduced androgen levels and partial reversal of male-pattern hair loss in a postmenopausal woman with ovarian hyperandrogenism.
