Women with PCOS have higher androgen levels that decrease with age but are still higher than in women without PCOS.

Sleep, testosterone levels, and a specific enzyme activity affect skin oil production in women.

Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.

The conclusion is that while oral contraceptive pills are effective for PCOS-related high androgen levels, new treatments with fewer side effects are needed.

Different substances that activate or block the androgen receptor can affect male development and treat conditions like prostate cancer.

Experts recommend using evidence-based methods to diagnose and treat hirsutism, focusing on symptoms and underlying causes.

The length of CAG repeats in the androgen receptor gene is linked to ovarian reserve but does not affect how the ovaries respond to stimulation.

Hirsutism is mainly caused by high androgen levels or sensitivity, with PCOS being the most common cause.

Antiandrogens affect androgen-dependent body functions and are used for various medical conditions, with some risks like fetus feminization, but new forms like 17α-propylmesterolone show promise for acne without systemic effects.

Spironolactone plus finasteride reduces hirsutism more effectively.

The document concludes that hormonal biomarkers are key for diagnosing hyperandrogenemia in women and hypogonadism in men.

Polycystic ovarian shape is a genetic sign of PCOS and its hormonal and metabolic features can be inherited.

5-alpha-reductase inhibitors may cause a low incidence of erectile dysfunction that decreases over time.

Women with excessive male-pattern hair growth should get a full hormone check-up to find and treat any underlying issues, considering both medical and emotional aspects.

Testosterone treatment can improve sexual function and bone density in women but may have adverse effects and requires more research on safety and guidelines.

The European Society of Endocrinology advises individualized long-term management for PCOS, focusing on lifestyle changes, accurate diagnosis, and treatments for associated health risks and symptoms.

Finasteride treatment changes urine metabolomics and steroid signatures, potentially monitoring effectiveness but may cause sexual side effects.

Women with PCOS and polycystic ovaries have higher male hormone levels and more insulin resistance, especially if they are overweight.

Testosterone therapy can improve sexual function in women but long-term safety is unclear.

Metformin is effective for treating excessive hair growth in women with PCOS and may work better than the standard treatment in some ways.
