This article reviews the diagnosis of hyperandrogenism in PCOS, discussing its clinical and biochemical components, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, two women with hyperandrogenic symptoms were found to have ovarian Leydig cell tumors after selective ovarian venous sampling and salpingo-oophorectomy, leading to a decline in testosterone levels post-surgery.

This study suggested that moxibustion treatment before or at the early stage of diminished ovarian reserve in rats may improve ovarian function by modulating androgen balance, though its effects differ across intervention timings.

In this case study, a 71-year-old woman with postmenopausal hirsutism was diagnosed with a Leydig cell tumor and endometrial carcinoma, with hirsutism improving one month after surgery.

This study found that while prepubescent female goats showed strong olfactory responses to active buck hair, this sensory stimulation alone did not advance the onset of puberty.

Women with pituitary adenomas often have reproductive issues, like irregular periods and trouble getting pregnant, but not always breast milk production without pregnancy.

This chapter reviews the male accessory sex glands in rats and their responses to hormonal influences, detailing common spontaneous changes and effects of compounds, but it provides no new experimental findings.

In this study, oral contraceptives containing desogestrel or cyproteron acetate effectively treated hyperandrogenism in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, while ovarian electrocautery is recommended for those with concurrent infertility.

In this study, there was no significant difference in blastocyst quality scores between hyperandrogenic and classical PCOS patients undergoing IVF, suggesting other factors might influence the lower embryo utilization in hyperandrogenic cases.

This study found that approximately 75% of women with PCOS exhibited hyperandrogenemia, with free testosterone being the most frequently elevated marker.

This study documented a case of a 57-year-old woman with postmenopausal virilism due to a Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor, which improved after surgical treatment.

This case report describes a postmenopausal woman with hirsutism and hair loss attributed to ovarian stromal hyperplasia; surgical removal of the ovaries normalized testosterone levels and resolved symptoms.

This study found that bloating is the most frequently reported symptom and a main predictor of polycystic ovary syndrome among women using the Flo app across five countries.

This article explores the mechanisms of female hirsutism and highlights the effectiveness of eflornithine in reducing hair growth, with further removal requiring physical methods.

This study identified that androgens increase calcium sensitization in mouse colonic smooth muscle by activating the Rho/Rho kinase pathway, highlighting its role in modulating muscle contractility.

This study observed that adult female acne may be associated with hyperandrogenic features and polycystic ovary syndrome, though routine hormonal tests often do not show abnormalities other than PCOS.

This case report details a postmenopausal woman with hyperandrogenism due to both adrenal adenoma and ovarian hyperthecosis, highlighting the effectiveness of hormonal suppression and venous sampling for diagnosis.

This systematic review reported positive outcomes with gender-affirming hormone therapy in Canada and emphasized the urgent need for standardized outcome measurement tools to enhance evidence-based practices.

In this case study, a postmenopausal woman with symptoms of virilization was diagnosed with a rare ovarian Leydig cell tumor, and surgical removal led to a resolution of her hyperandrogenism and related symptoms, highlighting the importance of thorough differential diagnosis in postmenopausal hyperandrogenism.

This narrative review discusses the impact of polycystic ovary syndrome on women's psychological and sexual well-being, highlighting the potential benefits of interdisciplinary treatments and new interventions to improve life satisfaction and coping, but reports no new results.

This clinical case study reports on a postmenopausal woman experiencing hair loss and virilization symptoms, which were ultimately attributed to rare ovarian tumors identified after a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, despite normal imaging results.

This study found that while 11-oxyandrogens are linked to excess hair growth, they do not aid in diagnosing PCOS and require further research to determine their clinical utility.

In this study, researchers found that human ovaries at different life stages biosynthesize both canonical and non-canonical steroid hormones, with fetal ovaries showing higher enzyme activity related to estradiol and testosterone conversion compared to adult tissues.

In this study, treating prolactinoma with cabergoline normalized prolactin levels and affected some androgen-related parameters, but did not significantly improve hirsutism in affected women.

In this study, serum PSA levels were higher in women with PCOS, suggesting it may serve as a marker for hyperandrogenism in this condition.

This case series highlights that diagnosing ovarian Leydig cell tumors can be challenging, and expert sonography is crucial for accurate identification, as imaging modalities like CT, MRI, and PET-CT may fail to detect them.

This study found that progesterone can inhibit spinal reflex potentiation in ovariectomized rats through GABA(A) receptor activity, mediated by neurosteroid metabolism rather than direct progesterone receptor action.

This article discusses clinical features and treatment options for hyperandrogenism in women and does not report new findings, highlighting current practices in diagnosis and management.
