Hirsutism is a medical condition characterized by excessive hair growth in women, which often appears in a coarse and typically male-pattern distribution on areas such as the face, chest, back, or abdomen. This condition can lead to physical discomfort and emotional distress, significantly impacting a woman’s self-esteem and overall quality of life. Hirsutism is often associated with hormonal imbalances, particularly elevated levels of androgens. It may also stem from underlying conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), congenital adrenal hyperplasia, or other endocrine disorders.
