Hyperandrogenism or androgen excess is a common endocrine disorder of women of reproductive-age, with a prevalence of 5-10%. The majority of patients with hyperandrogenism will have polycystic ovary syndrome.linical manifestations of hyperandrogenism include hirsutism, acne, androgenic alopecia, and virilization. Hirsutism, defined as excessive growth of terminal hair in women in a male-like pattern, is the most commonly used clinical diagnostic criterion of hyperandrogenism.
Testosterone and DHT are important for sexual development as well as secondary sexual characteristics such as thick skin and male-pattern hair growth. Hyperandrogenism in women causes hirsutism, which is the excessive growth of body hair in areas associated with male-pattern growth such as the chin and upper lip.
