Hyperandrogenism is a condition in which the body has elevated levels or increased activity of the male hormones, called androgens, which are also naturally present in women.
Frequent symptoms: Increased hair in unusual areas, persistent acne, changes in the menstrual cycle, and, in some cases, changes in the hair.
Common causes: It may be linked to hormonal imbalances of various origins, including some related to the ovaries or the glands that produce hormones.
Which specialist treats it? The endocrinologist, the pediatric endocrinologist, and the gynecologist are the ones who usually study this condition. If you notice these changes in a sustained way, the best course is to raise it with one of these professionals to determine the appropriate studies.
