Home Medical Dictionary Contact Us About Us ... PCOS and Hirsutism PCOS and Hirsutism Approximately 10% of women have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Women with PCOS experience increased body hair (hirsutism), increased weight and infertility due to both lack of ovulation and recurrent miscarriage. In addition, women with PCOS are subject to a markedly increased risk of heart disease, endometrial cancer and possibly breast cancer. If you have menstrual irregularities, you may have PCOS. At Cedars-Sinai, our physicians are actively evaluating new ways of diagnosing and treating this potentially devastating condition. We are conducting several exciting studies to assess new diagnostic tests and promising new therapies for PCOS. Some women with PCOS also have hirsutism, but not all women with hirsutism have PCOS. Hirsutism is excessive body hair on a woman, similar to that of a man. Affecting approximately seven percent of women ages 18 to 45 years, hirsutism may indicate the presence of other hormonal problems that require examination. The most common cause of hirsutism is an extra amount of male hormones or androgens. Symptoms PCOS symptoms vary widely and are similar to symptoms for other conditions. Therefore, women with these symptoms do not necessarily have PCOS.

Treatment Excessive or unwanted hair in women Definition: The normal amount of body hair varies widely among women. When coarse, dark hairs grow where women typically do not grow dark hair, such as the lip, chin, chest, abdomen, or back, the condition is called hirsutism. Alternative Names: Hypertrichosis; Hirsutism; Hair - excessive (women) Common Causes: Excessive hair growth in women is usually from too much male hormone (androgen). A common cause is polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). In most cases, however, the specific cause is never identified. It tends to run in families. In general, hirsutism is a harmless condition. But many women find it bothersome, even embarrassing. If hirsutism develops suddenly and is accompanied by other typical male features, such as deepening voice, acne, or increased muscle mass, it may be caused by a more serious disorder. These causes, such as hormone-secreting tumors or cancer, are rare. Rare causes include: Tumor or cancer of the adrenal gland.

Prevalence = 5-10% Causes of androgen dependent hirsutism: Polycystic ovary syndrome Cushing ’s syndrome Acromegaly 1% Presentation Two types of hirsutism: Androgen dependent – normally appears after puberty. Hairs are coarse, pigmented and typically grow in areas where men grow hair.

Menstrual history – oligomenorrhoea Drug history – some OC’s contain androgenic progestins Look for signs of virilism – frontal balding, deepening of voice, larger muscle size, clitoromegaly

72. HIRSUTISM (FACIAL AND BODY HAIR) hirsutism (TOO MUCH HAIR). Gabe Mirkin, MD. Five to 10 percent of North Americanwomen have hirsutism, a condition that causes women to have excess hair on http://www.drmirkin.com/women/8225.html

HIRSUTISM (FACIAL AND BODY HAIR) Gabe Mirkin, M.D. Five to 10 percent of North American women have hirsutism, a condition that causes women to have excess hair on their faces and bodies. Women have the same number of hairs on their bodies and faces as men do, but the male hormone, testosterone, makes hairs thicker, darker and longer, making them more noticeable. Some women with noticeable body hair have normal amounts of testosterone and inherit this tendency. Others have a tumor or medical condition that causes their bodies to produce larger amounts of testosterone. Women with noticeable body and facial hair should get blood tests for testosterone to measure male hormones made by the ovaries and DHEAS to measure male hormones produced by the adrenal glands. They should also get a sonogram of their ovaries to test for polycystic ovaries (PCO syndrome) in which the ovaries do not release eggs each month. PCO syndrome is treated like diabetes with drugs (Glucophage, Avandia, Actose) to lower blood insulin levels and severe restriction of foods with added sugar and flour. Over the last 20 years, doctors have treated hirsutism with birth control pills and spironolactone, a drug to block male hormones. Now they also have leuprolide (brand name Leupron) which stops the brain from stimulating the ovaries to produce testosterone (1) and Proscar, the drug to shrink a man's enlarged prostate.(2,3,4) The most effective treatment may be the anti-male hormone, flutamide (brand name Eulexin) to stop the body from responding to testosterone (5,6,7,8,9,10,12). Doctors can measure the benefit of these drugs by drawing PSA blood tests in women (11)

Acne Actinic Keratosis Athlete's foot Eczema/Atopic Dermatitis ... Home Hirsutism What Is It? Hirsutism is excessive hair growth. It can occur in both men and women but most often is seen in women. In women, increased hair growth is typically distributed on the body in a male pattern such as a facial moustache or beard, chest, abdomen, back and thighs. It is darker and thicker than the baby fine hair that women typically find on their body. For men, the back, ears and chest are the most troublesome areas. What Causes It? Several different medical factors may contribute to hirsutism such as hormonal imbalances. Hair follicles that are overly sensitive to the male hormones called androgens, or abnormally high levels of testosterone can contribute to excessive hair growth in women. Some medications can be associated with hirsutism such as postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy, which contains testosterone; or Danazol, a drug used to treat endometriosis, may also stimulate excessive hair growth. Other medical factors include endocrine abnormalities, ovarian lesions, adrenal disorders, and use of androgenic steroids. What Can Be Done?

Question of the Week Q: I am 19 and I took a birth control pill called Trivora for a year. When I got off of it, I started growing facial hair on my chin and side of my face. Could this have caused it? And if so, can I do anything about it? A: I am asked questions like this quite frequently. Women report that after stopping an oral contraceptive (OC), they develop acne , or increased facial hair , or alopecia (scalp hair loss). They wonder if the OC caused the problem. Actually, it is most often the opposite. Many OCs lower free testosterone by about half. This is probably why they help acne . OCs also slow growth of unwanted hair ( hirsutism ) and probably help androgenic alopecia slightly. So, rather than the OC causing a problem which appears after it was stopped, it is more likely that it was helping and this benefit was lost when the pill was stopped. In such cases, going back on the pill may be helpful. Of course there are many variables and such a step should be discussed with one's doctor. OCs may not be enough by themselves to give a satisfying result with alopecia or facial and body hair but they work in the right direction. More on this and other treatments for

Emory Reproductive Center printer-friendly version Hirsutism Hirsutism, excess body hair in women, typically refers to pigmented coarse and dark hairs in a male pattern distribution. The common sites affected are the face, chest and abdomen. Other areas such as the back, arms and legs may be involved in more severe cases. Hair follicles at these sites are sensitive to male hormones (androgens). Excess hair can result from an increased sensitivity of hair follicles to normal amounts of male hormones, the presence of higher than normal amounts of male hormones such as in polycystic ovary syndrome, adrenal disorders, or androgen-secreting tumors. Women taking hormones such as testosterone or anabolic steroids, and medications such as minoxidil also can have similar symptoms. Women from certain ethnic backgrounds such as those of Mediterranean, Middle-Eastern or Hispanic ancestry, have more sensitive hair follicles, or idiopathic hirsutism. Significant weight gain is sometimes associated with excess body hair due to increased amounts of the male hormones that are not bound to proteins. Weight loss in this situation can improve this symptom. Diabetes and high insulin levels can worsen hirsutism or produce a brown discoloration of the skin, known as acanthosis nigricans, around the neck, under the arms, and along the folds of the upper thighs.
