    Glossary Virilization

    development of male traits in females due to excess androgens

    Virilization refers to the development of male physical characteristics in females or prematurely in boys, often due to an excess of androgens (male hormones). This can include symptoms like deepening of the voice, increased body hair, and enlargement of the clitoris in females. It can be caused by conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), adrenal gland disorders, or the use of anabolic steroids.
