Causes of hirsutism:

- The development of tumors in the body that produce a large amount of hormones
- Taking certain medications
- Itsenko-Cushing syndrome
- Taking androgens – male sex hormones.
– Often, women are prescribed testosterone by medical bloggers-adventurers, who in this way try to increase sexual desire. Such women often come to me, and we are trying to restore ruined health, – the doctor said.
There is a Ferriman-Galway table, according to which you can independently determine the presence of hirsutism.
