Menopause affects hair and skin; more research needed for treatment.

Androgen receptor signaling causes early aging of cells important for hair growth by damaging their DNA.

Diagnosing and treating PCOS is complex due to differing criteria and requires a team approach.

A woman's excessive hair growth was caused by a rare benign tumor in her adrenal gland, which was successfully removed.

A woman's adrenal tumor disappeared after treatment with cyproterone acetate.

Removing an adrenal tumor can significantly reduce high androgen levels in postmenopausal women.

Most adrenal cortex tumors are benign and non-secreting, but proper diagnosis and treatment are important due to the rare possibility of cancer.

The document concludes that careful evaluation is needed to diagnose PCOS correctly due to similar symptoms in other conditions, and accurate testosterone level measurement is crucial.

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.

A rare adrenal tumor in a woman only made DHEA-S, causing hair thinning, and was removed, fixing the hormone level.

Removing both ovaries can treat increased testosterone and related symptoms in postmenopausal women with ovarian hyperthecosis.

The conclusion is that removing both ovaries is the best treatment for excess male hormones in postmenopausal women, with medication as another option, and managing insulin resistance is important for diagnosis and treatment.

Some ovarian tumors can cause masculinization, and it's important to check for various causes when this symptom is present.

Doctors used a special blood sampling technique to diagnose a woman's rare ovarian tumor that was producing male hormones.

Evaluate postmenopausal women with high androgen levels using medical history, physical exams, lab tests, and imaging to manage health risks.

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.

Skin diseases linked to insulin resistance should be managed to prevent diabetes and reduce heart disease risk.

The document concludes with guidance for doctors on diagnosing and treating hirsutism effectively and safely.
