In this study, multimedia education significantly improved the knowledge and practices of women with polycystic ovarian syndrome, particularly in managing symptoms like menstrual irregularity and oligomenorrhea, as observed in a sample from the Sohag University Hospital clinic in Egypt.

This article discusses the potential for gynecologists to enhance their practice by incorporating laser hair removal services, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study defined menstrual phase-specific reference intervals for circulating androgen levels in young women, highlighting that anovulatory females showed higher androgen, LH, and FSH levels compared to ovulatory females.

This study found that bilateral orchiectomy allows most transgender women to stop anti-androgen medications, with 91.7% discontinuing them post-surgery and 25% reducing estrogen use.

This study found that oral contraceptives containing cyproterone acetate significantly improved the overall quality of life in polycystic ovary syndrome patients after 6 months compared to those containing levonorgestrel.

This study found no predictive link between mothers’ PCOS symptoms and the adolescent phenotype, but identified certain gene alleles associated with higher testosterone levels in affected adolescents.

PFS affects some women, steroids easily bought online, hypogonadism info unreliable, low testosterone linked to CVD.

This review examines hair removal practices prior to genital gender affirming surgery, noting current variations and offering a practical laser hair removal approach, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that total testosterone, DHEA-S, and free androgen index may help distinguish menstrual irregularities from increased risk of polycystic ovary syndrome in adolescents.

This case study reported a 34-year-old woman presenting with secondary amenorrhea, hirsutism, and obesity showed elevated testosterone and anti-Müllerian hormone levels, leading to the exclusion of nonclassical congenital adrenal hyperplasia as a diagnosis.

This case report highlights the diagnostic challenge of identifying androgen-secreting ovarian Leydig cell tumors in postmenopausal women when imaging fails to reveal masses, emphasizing the usefulness of ovarian vein sampling for localization.

This case study highlights the challenges of diagnosing hyperandrogenism in postmenopausal women, reporting a patient with androgenic alopecia and high testosterone due to a benign Leydig cell tumor in the ovary; surgery successfully normalized testosterone levels.

This review discusses the dermatologic manifestations of hyperandrogenism in women and outlines the diagnostic approach and treatment options, reporting no new clinical results.

This review focuses on recent advancements in understanding and treating ischemic and nonischemic priapism, but does not present new clinical results.

This review outlines the significant roles of sex steroid hormones like estrogens, progestins, and testosterone in reproductive and overall health, and discusses how their imbalances are linked to various health conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome and reproductive cancers.

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.

Finasteride can help induce ovulation and lead to a healthy birth in some women.

This review discusses definitions of polycystic ovary syndrome and reports no new clinical results; the authors support using modified 1990 NIH criteria and acknowledge ongoing evolution as research advances.

This study found that androgens increase Odc1 expression in skeletal muscle myoblasts, promoting proliferation and delaying differentiation.

In this study, laparoscopic ovarian diathermy with three to five punctures per ovary improved reproductive outcomes for women with clomiphene-resistant polycystic ovary syndrome, while more than six punctures may cause excessive ovarian damage.

This study suggests that progesterone may have a complex role in absence epilepsy, facilitating seizures through conversion to allopregnanolone, but potentially reducing them during pregnancy.

This case report describes a 57-year-old woman with hirsutism, hair loss, and vocal changes, who was found to have elevated testosterone levels but normal dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate levels.

This review discusses the role of norepinephrine release and protein kinase C activation in the development of benign prostatic hypertrophy, suggesting potential targets for new therapies, but it reports no new clinical results.

To diagnose Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, two out of three signs—irregular periods, high male hormone levels, or cysts on the ovaries—are needed.

This study found that hirsutism and acne are strong predictors of biochemical hyperandrogenism in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Among women with hirsutism studied, this research found a high prevalence of acne, particularly associated with polycystic ovarian syndrome and endocrine changes.

This review covers gynecologic examination challenges and normal anatomical variations in prepubertal girls, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing common benign conditions from rare abuse cases; it presents no new experimental findings.

Amenorrhea is relatively rare and initial testing should check FSH, TSH, and prolactin levels.
