Dear M. Venkataraman,

 

Greetings.

 

MEDICAL INFORMATION:

 

A.) HIRSUTISM

Hirsutism is the medical term for excess body or facial hair in women. It

can easily be described as a male hair growth pattern or distribution on a

female body. Hirsutism is considered a disease by many medical authorities

and can be the result of a serious underlying disorder that can be easily

be ruled out with a medical history and some simple blood tests. Hirsutism

is usually caused by an increased production of a group of hormones called

androgens ( " male hormones " ) or an increased sensitivity of the skin to

these hormones. Androgen disorders affect between 5% to 10% of all women.

Women with hirsutism have an increased production rate of testosterone and

androstenedione. Hirsutism produces enlarged hair follicles, enlargement

and increased pigmentation of hair, and typically occurs in a distribution

pattern normally seen in adult males. Excessive facial hair is usually the

most troublesome symptom.

Causes may be hereditary, or involve endocrine system abnormalities, or

certain medications such as minoxidil, androgenic steroids, or

testosterone. Endocrine abnormalities which can result in excessive hair

growth are acromegaly, precocious puberty, Cushing's syndrome, congenital

adrenal hyperplasia, and ovarian lesions.

Signs of masculinization, such as deepening of the voice, excessive facial

hair growth, increased muscle mass, decreased breast size, increased size

of genitals, and menstrual irregularities, may be associated with this

condition. Risk factors include a family history of hirsutism, endocrine

disorders, use of androgens (androgenic steroids or testosterone), and

older age.

 

B.) HYPERTRICHOSIS

Hypertrichosis is usually described as an excessive quantity of hair in a

normal location on one's body compared to others of the same sex, age, and

ethnic background. Men usually have hair on their chest. If a man had a lot

of hair on his chest, it would be called hypertrichosis. But a woman with a

full beard would be called hirsute. Women do not normally have a beard.

When a woman has a lot of hair on the calf of the leg, it would not be

called hirsutism but hypertrichosis. Women normally have hair on their

calves. Women who have a few chin hairs and a few upper lip hairs would be

called hypertrichotic but not hirsute.

 

C.) HYPERANDROGENISM

Hyperandrogenism is increased levels of male hormone production in women.

The causes of hyperandrogenism and hirsutism in women are as follows:

1. Chronic anovulation - i.e. polycystic ovarian syndrome

2. Idiopathic hirsutism - excess hair growth with normal menstrual cycles

and normal androgen (male hormone) levels

3. Late onset congenital adrenal hyperplasia - an inherited disorder of

hormone metabolism that causes increased hair growth in women after puberty

4. Ovarian tumors - a rare cause of hirsutism

5. Adrenal causes - more rare cause of hirsutism

6. Pregnancy related - also rare, e.g. luteoma of pregnancy (tumor derived

from the corpus luteum cells of the ovary)

7. Drugs - some drugs can cause excess hair growth in women

The most commonly seen clinical problem is irregular menstrual cycles

(anovulation), onset of hirsutism in the teens or early 20s, and gradually

worsening excess hair growth. These are the findings associated with the

condition known as polycystic ovarian syndrome.

Treatments for hyperandrogenism range from oral contraceptives to

Spironolactone to Flutamide. Testosterone (T) levels should be tested and a

tumor workup should be done if the total testosterone is over 200 ng/dl.

Additional tests such as Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS),

17-hydroxyprogesterone for CAH, prolactin, T4, TSH, breast exam, and an

endometrial biopsy may be indicated. For most women, the tendency towards

hirsutism is inherited. Excess hair growth may be present in both the

female and male family members. Hirsutism usually begins around puberty,

but mild hirsutism can start at any age. Most women gradually develop more

facial or body hair with age. In the recent past, unwanted hair has been

considered a " taboo " topic of conversation and therefore, many affected

women did not realize how common their problem was. At least 25% and as

much as 85% of normal middle-aged women remove unwanted facial and body

hair, although few of these women are termed hirsute. "
