    Glossary Hyperandrogenism

    elevated androgen levels causing symptoms like excessive hair growth

    Hyperandrogenism, also known as Androgen Excess, refers to a condition characterized by elevated levels of androgens (male hormones such as testosterone) in the body. This hormonal imbalance can lead to symptoms such as excessive hair growth (hirsutism), acne, and scalp hair thinning in women. It is often associated with conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and can have significant implications for reproductive and metabolic health.
