    Glossary Idiopathic Hirsutism

    excessive hair growth in women without a known cause

    Idiopathic Hirsutism refers to excessive hair growth in women in areas where men typically grow hair, such as the face, chest, and back, without an identifiable cause. Unlike hirsutism caused by hormonal imbalances or medical conditions, idiopathic hirsutism occurs despite normal levels of androgens and other hormones, making its origin unknown.
