This review explores the role of hyperandrogenism, including adrenal-derived 11-oxygenated androgen, in the development of polycystic ovarian syndrome and discusses potential therapeutic strategies targeting androgen excess, without reporting new clinical results.

This review explores the potential of platelet-rich plasma therapy for early ovarian reserve decline and premature ovarian insufficiency, indicating some ovarian function improvements in initial studies but highlighting the need for further research.

This article outlines common and serious causes of excessive body hair in women, noting that benign conditions like polycystic ovarian syndrome are treatable, while dangerous causes require swift medical attention; it reports no new results.

This study discusses the use of oral contraceptives as a treatment for hyperandrogenism, showing improvement in hirsutism and acne for many women and possibly providing metabolic benefits with certain formulations.

This study found that hirsutism is more prevalent in Chinese women with PCOS compared to the general population, and the Ferriman-Gallwey score is a good predictor for diagnosing PCOS in this group.

This case report describes a 61-year-old female with hyperandrogenic symptoms, where an ovarian hemangioma with stromal luteinization was identified and surgically removed, resulting in improved symptoms.

This review discusses the cosmetic and health implications of hirsutism and highlights its potential link to serious underlying disorders, but it presents no new clinical findings.

This study found that women with acne and oligomenorrhea have higher levels of biologically active testosterone compared to those with acne and normal menstrual cycles.

This study presents a new survey instrument that was cognitively tested for understanding menstrual cycle characteristics and androgen excess, including hirsutism, alopecia, and acne.

This article discusses immunohistochemical analysis of estrogen and progesterone receptors in endometrium and peritoneal endometriosis, introducing a new quantitative method, but reports no new experimental results.

This case study highlights a testosterone- and cortisol-secreting adrenal oncocytic neoplasm in an 18-year-old woman, illustrating the role of surgical excision in resolving hyperandrogenism and restoring menstruation.

This study examined a case of postmenopausal virilization in a woman and found that despite normal imaging, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy revealed rare ovarian Leydig cell and Brenner tumors as the source of hyperandrogenism, with symptoms resolving post-surgery.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome had significantly higher levels of prostate-specific antigen, which positively correlated with testosterone levels, the LH/FSH ratio, and hirsutism severity.

This study found that teenage girls born via assisted reproductive technologies displayed premature development of secondary sexual characteristics and elevated hormone levels, indicating late precocious puberty and androgen excess.

This study estimates the prevalence of hyperandrogenic states in late adolescent and young females, revealing that these disorders often begin at a young age.

A postmenopausal woman's masculine symptoms improved after surgery for a hormone-producing ovarian tumor.

This article discusses various diagnostic categories and treatments for hyperandrogenism, with a focus on polycystic ovary syndrome and reports no new clinical findings, calling for specific treatments and lifestyle changes.

This study found that the prevalence of polycystic ovarian morphology among Thai women with PCOS was 55.2%, with no significant factors associated with its presence in univariate analysis.

This study observed that electrical stimulation of specific mechanoreceptive afferents in the orofacial region can evoke sensations consistent with their response properties, while others may require multiple afferents to access perceptual levels.

This case report describes a 60-year-old woman with an ovarian Leydig cell tumor leading to elevated testosterone levels and hirsutism, highlighting the need to consider androgen-secreting tumors in similar postmenopausal cases.

This case study highlights the importance of considering broad causes when evaluating hot flashes in middle-aged men, as it detailed a pituitary macroadenoma causing secondary hypogonadism in a man presenting with such symptoms.

This research reports that essential oils may enhance athletic performance by improving cerebral hemodynamics and promoting muscle and psycho-emotional relaxation through activation of the limbic system.

This case study observed that in four middle-aged men with ejaculation disorders, therapy with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) alone or combined with recombinant follicle-stimulating hormone (rFSH) improved sexual desire, semen volume, and various other symptoms, although some experienced elevated estradiol levels and hair loss.

This article reviews clinical and treatment aspects of hyperandrogenism in women, emphasizing the roles of diagnostic practices, combined oral contraceptives, and cyproterone acetate, but introduces no new findings.
