The 2023 guideline advises a detailed approach for PCOS, focusing on early detection, lifestyle and medical treatments, and managing health risks.

PCOS is a complex condition that affects women's hormonal balance and metabolism, requiring lifestyle changes and medical management.

Testosterone replacement can help women with low libido and mood, but they need to have enough estrogen first to avoid side effects.

The combination of cyproterone acetate and testosterone enanthate is highly effective in preventing sperm production and could be a good reversible male contraceptive.

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

Women with androgen excess, especially those with PCOS, have a much higher risk of heart disease and stroke.

Flutamide is more effective and has fewer side effects than spironolactone for treating hirsutism.

Antiandrogens are somewhat effective in reducing excessive hair growth in women.

The conclusion is to diagnose PCOS with just hyperandrogenism and irregular periods, and treat with lifestyle changes and basic medications.

Testosterone replacement therapy can prevent men from fathering children and should not be used by those wanting to stay fertile.

The conclusion is that there is a high demand for new contraceptives that provide both pregnancy prevention and protection against STIs, along with additional health benefits.

Combined oral contraceptives improve skin, hormone levels, and quality of life in women with PCOS.

Minoxidil is the only FDA-approved topical drug for treating male or female pattern hair loss, and other medications like finasteride and dutasteride can also increase hair growth.

Male tissue has more cell death than female tissue after ischemia, and some neurosteroids only protect female cells.

No treatment fully stops excessive hair growth in women, but various methods can help manage it effectively.

Excessive hair growth in women can be harmless or signal serious health issues, and treatment often includes medication and hair removal, with noticeable results after 3-6 months.

Oral contraceptives provide various health benefits beyond birth control, including managing menstrual issues, skin conditions, pain, and reducing the risk of certain cancers.

The document concludes that identifying the cause of amenorrhea is crucial for proper treatment.

Polycystic ovary syndrome is a complex condition that affects women's mental, reproductive, and metabolic health throughout their lives.

The guide recommends specific methods for diagnosing PCOS and various treatments for its symptoms, while considering the health impacts on adolescents.

Alpha-hydroxy acids, like glycolic acid, safely improve skin issues and work on all skin types.

PCOS in teens is hard to diagnose, linked to genetics and lifestyle, and managed with weight loss and medication.

Excessive hair growth can be assessed by history, exam, and blood tests, and treated with medication like dexamethasone, birth control pills, and spironolactone.

Birth control pills help treat skin and hair growth problems linked to high male hormone levels.

Quick treatment of hair disorders in teenage girls is important because of the emotional effects.

Hormonal changes during and after pregnancy can cause hair growth changes and hair loss, with treatments available for some conditions.

Primary care for PCOS focuses on lifestyle changes, medication based on symptoms, and mental health, with diabetes screening and specialist referral for severe cases.

The document concludes that combination therapy is most effective for treating excessive hair growth in women with idiopathic hirsutism, and more research is needed to understand the condition.

Many adult women suffer from persistent or late-onset acne, and while various treatments exist, finding the right one can be challenging.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) often leads to severe acne, and lifestyle changes and hormonal treatments can help manage it.
