    Glossary Ovarian Hyperandrogenism

    condition where ovaries produce excess male hormones

    Ovarian Hyperandrogenism, also known as Ovarian Androgen Excess, is a condition where the ovaries produce an abnormally high level of androgens, which are male hormones like testosterone. This hormonal imbalance can lead to symptoms such as excessive hair growth (hirsutism), acne, and irregular menstrual cycles, and is often associated with conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).
