Arrhenoblastoma

Arrhenoblastoma is a rare tumor of the ovary that can produce male hormones, which is why in some women it causes signs of masculinization.

Possible manifestations: It may be accompanied by menstrual cycle abnormalities, increased body hair, changes in the voice or other signs resulting from the excess of male hormones.

To keep in mind: Being an ovarian tumor that affects the hormonal balance, it is usually studied when physical and menstrual changes appear that have no clear explanation.

Which specialist treats it? The gynecologist is the professional who assesses ovarian tumors and the associated hormonal changes. If you notice menstrual abnormalities along with signs of masculinization, the most appropriate thing is to discuss it with this specialist for a timely evaluation.
