Hirsutism is a quite common clinical condition in women that results in excessive, unwanted growth of dark, stiff or coarse hair in a male-like pattern.
These unwanted hairs appear on the body parts where women don’t commonly have hair — primarily the face, chest, lower abdomen, inner thighs and back.
Hirsutism is due to a disturbance of females’ hormone system mainly caused by an excess production or action of hormones called androgens (testosterone), secreted by the ovaries or adrenal glands and produced locally in the hair follicles.
It can be a source of low self-esteem, embarrassment, and distress in some women and can often lead to anxiety and depression.
In some women the condition usually begins around the time of their menarche and increases slowly and steadily in the teens and twenties.
Such girls may also experience scanty, irregular periods. pimples, obesity and hair loss etc., if hirsutism is linked with their PCOS or polycystic ovaries.
Possible Causes
The two most common causes of hirsutism are polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and idiopathic hirsutism.
- Hormonal Imbalance – Increased amount of testosterone (male hormone)
- Heredity / genetic
- Obesity
- Around pregnancy
- Side effects of certain drugs such as corticosteroids
- Congenital adrenal hyperplasia
- Tumours of pituitary or adrenal gland
- Rarely Cushing’s syndrome (excess amount of corticosteroid hormones due to over stimulation of the adrenal glands)
Common Symptoms Of Hirsutism
