Overview

In some cases of hirsutism, surgery may be indicated.

Surgery

If a tumor of ovaries or adrenal glands is the underlying cause of hirsutism, surgery may be the treatment option.[1]

Oophorectomy is indicated sometimes for perimenopausal or postmenopausal women with severe hyperandrogenism.[2][3]
