What is Hirsutism? - Etiology, Pathophysiology, Symptoms, Signs, Diagnosis, Evaluation & Management. Hirsutism, which is defined as androgen-dependent excessive male-pattern hair growth, affects approximately 10% of women Unwanted sexual hair growth has a considerable negative impact on a woman’s self-esteem and quality of life. Excessive growth of terminal hair in women in a man-like pattern is defined as hirsutism and affects up to 1 in 7 women. Androgens secreted by the ovary and adrenal are the main regulator of physiological and pathological alterations of skin hair. Hirsutism is the result of the interaction between circulating serum androgens and hair follicles. Hirsutism is the most commonly used clinical diagnostic criterion of hyperandrogenism and majority of hirsutism cases are due to androgen excess. Over 80% of women with hirsutism will have polycystic ovary syndrome, about 10% will have idiopathic hirsutism, and the remaining will have rare disorders including: · Non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia · Hyperandrogenism with insulin resistance, · Acanthosis nigricans, and · Androgen-secreting neoplasms. Cushing’s syndrome, acromegaly, thyroid dysfunction and hyperprolactinemia might be associated with hirsutism. I am grateful to all the contributors and experts for their valuable support, backed with the current literature. Thus an attempt has been made to discuss comprehensively Hirsutism diagnosis, pathophysiology, various laboratory tests, clinical evaluation, management of hirsutism and treatment options along with an Image Gallery. I hope that this booklet will provide knowledge and serve as a comprehensive overview to many enthusiastic medicos dealing with Hirsutism at one click! …Dr. H. K. Saboowala.

In the past 10 years hirsutism has been the object of a considerable number of fundamental studies. It provides endocrinologists with an experimental model for the investigation of androgen secretion, metabolism and mechanism of action. Plasma androgen assay, free testosterone measurement, hepatic and extrahepatic androgen metabolic clearance and androgen metabolism in the skin are the different steps which were studied by many groups and represent valuable parameters of the mechanisms of hirsutism. Determination of the origin of androgen oversecretion has become easier by technical progress in differential effiuent venous catheterism, which makes it possible to compare androgens in adrenal or ovarian effiuent veins to their peripheral levels, and to determine the ovarian or adrenal source of the androgen oversecretion as well as the side responsible, essential in the case of tumors. The study of androgen metabolism and the discovery of androgen receptors in the skin confIrm the latter as an actual target cell for androgens. This target cell uses the circulating active androgen, i. e. , testosterone and can also metabolize local inactive androgens into active ones. This is the case of androstenedione and dehy droepiandrosterone which are the two main androgens secreted in women, since women secrete very little testosterone. The capacity of the skin to transform inactive androgens into active ones varies from one individual to another. That would support the concept of variable skin receptivity from one woman to another and from one ethnic group to another.

Millions of women struggle with unwanted hair, which is frequently related to a hormonal condition known as hirsutism. In other cases, unwanted hair can emerge as hormonal levels shift, or when normal hair growth in women is considered "unwanted" by cultural beauty standards. Unwanted Hair and Hirsutism explores this serious problem for women, which has too often been cast aside as a "beauty issue." Here, author Alison Amoroso defines the differences between "unwanted hair" and the medical problem of hirsutism. All available treatments and hair removal techniques are explored, including risks and benefits of each. Useful charts and illustrations, combined with accessible language, make this book a treasure trove for women of all ages who may be silently plagued by this health problem.
