Hirsutism refers to the growth of coarse, dark hair in areas where
women typically grow fine hair or no hair at all - above the lip,
and on the chin, chest, abdomen, and back. This growth is caused
by an excess of any of the hormones called androgens (male hormones),
which all women have in them normally.
Hirsutism - CAUSE
Hirsutism is caused by an excess production or action of androgens,
usually by the ovaries or adrenal glands. Several different conditions
can lead to hirsutism. The two most common causes of hirsutism are
polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and idiopathic hirsutism. Both
are diagnosed by physical examination, medical and family history,
and, sometimes, blood tests that help exclude the rare causes of
hirsutism
