Certain genetic variations in the AR and ERβ genes can affect androgen levels in women.

Women with PCOS have more body fat and thicker fat layers in certain abdominal areas than women without PCOS.

Spironolactone can cause side effects like irregular bleeding, but lower doses may reduce these effects and still improve hirsutism.

Taking low-dose spironolactone and metformin together works better for PCOS symptoms than either drug alone.

Obese women with PCOS show a male-like pattern in certain fat tissue gene expressions.

Finasteride and spironolactone both reduce hirsutism, but finasteride lowers androgen levels more.

Certain microRNAs in the fluid around eggs are linked to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and may help diagnose it.

Use "female pattern hair loss" term, assess androgen excess, treat with minoxidil and other medications if needed.

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

The research suggests that the global distribution of PCOS is likely due to historical human migration and that genes affecting PCOS may have different impacts on males and females.

The research found that polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has two distinct types, with one having more severe hormone and insulin issues.

Intravaginal testosterone cream improves sexual satisfaction and reduces vaginal discomfort in postmenopausal women on breast cancer treatment without affecting hormone levels.

Finasteride reduces hair growth and is safe for women with excessive hair.

People who carry the 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency gene are not more likely to have excessive male hormone levels.

Finasteride doesn't affect hormone levels in normal men.

The nafarelin test can reliably distinguish between gonadotropin deficiency and delayed puberty in teenage boys.

All treatments reduce hair growth; low dose flutamide most effective with fewer side effects.

Finasteride reduces dihydrotestosterone, increases testosterone, and may treat hirsutism in women.

The treatment effectively reduced hair growth and was safe for patients with PCOS, but it needs better bleeding control.

The document concludes that managing PCOS involves treating symptoms and reducing long-term metabolic risks, with lifestyle changes being important.

Glioblastoma cells can make androgens, which might help the tumor grow.

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

Brothers of women with PCOS tend to have higher levels of a hormone called DHEAS, indicating a possible genetic link.

Both metformin and pioglitazone improve PCOS symptoms, but pioglitazone is a good alternative for those who can't take metformin.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) in teenagers is a complex condition linked to genetics and environment, often associated with obesity and insulin resistance, and is treated with lifestyle changes and medication.

Postmenopausal hyperandrogenism, a condition with symptoms like increased hair growth and acne, is usually caused by PCOS but can also be due to other factors. It's diagnosed by checking testosterone levels and treated either by removing the adrenal tumor or through antiandrogen therapy.

Women with hyperandrogenic amenorrhea have similar bone density to healthy women but lower than androgenized women without amenorrhea, and high DHEAS levels might affect bone density.

Male hormones, particularly DHT, are linked to male pattern hair loss, and treatments like finasteride can help, but they don't work for postmenopausal women's hair loss, which may have different causes.

Obesity worsens PCOS symptoms, and PCOS may lead to more weight gain; managing both requires a holistic approach that includes mental health.
