- Hirsutism
More common causes of hirsutism include polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), idiopathic hirsutism, hyperprolactinemia, hyperthecosis, and medications (eg, danazol, androgenic oral contraceptives). [thehealthscience.com]
Hypertrichosis differs from Hirsutism in that, it is not androgen related and does not follow the male pattern of Hair distribution, while Hirsutism commonly occurs in women and presents as androgen-induced male pattern hair growth. [impocity.blogspot.com]
Hirsutism is quantified by the Ferriman–Gallwey scale, with scores of 6–8 considered mildly hirsute, 8–15 serious, and >15 overt hirsutism. Other signs of hyperandrogenism are acne, oligo- or amenorrhea, and androgenetic alopecia. [en.tzermias.gr]
Hirsutism is often misdiagnosed as hypertrichosis. Even though hirsutism can be both, inherited or acquired just as hypertrichosis, it is diagnosed only in children and women. [healthmaza.com]
Hirsutism Hypertrichosis is often mistakenly classified as hirsutism. [ 1 ] Hirsutism is a type of hypertrichosis exclusive to women and children, resulting from an excess of androgen sensitive hair growth. [ 16 ] Patients with hirsutism exhibit patterns [thefullwiki.org]
