Hirsutism is a medical condition characterized by excessive hair growth in women in areas where men typically grow hair, such as the face, chest, and back. This condition is often related to hormonal imbalances, particularly elevated levels of androgens like testosterone. Hirsutism can be caused by various factors, including polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), certain medications, or other underlying health issues. Treatment options may include lifestyle changes, hormonal therapies, or hair removal methods.
