==Overview==
*[[Hyperlipoproteinemia ]]  
'''Hirsutism''' (from Latin ''hirsutus'' = shaggy, hairy) is defined as excessive and increased [[hair]] growth in women in locations where the occurrence of [[terminal hair]] normally is minimal or absent. It refers to a male pattern of body hair ([[androgenic hair]]) and it is therefore primarily of cosmetic and [[psychological]] concern. Hirsutism is a [[symptom]] rather than a [[disease]] and may be a sign of a more serious medical indication, especially if it develops well after [[puberty]].
*[[Hypertension ]]
 
*[[Hypoxemia]]
== Appearance and evaluation ==
*[[Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis]]
Hirsutism only affects women, since the rising of androgens causes a male pattern of body hair, particularly in locations where women normally do not develop terminal hair within their [[puberty]] ([[chest hair|chest]], [[abdominal hair|abdomen]], back and [[facial hair|face]]). The medical term for excessive hair growth that affect both men and women is [[hypertrichosis]].
*[[substance abuse|Illicit drug use]]
 
*[[Infective endocarditis]]
One method of evaluating hirsutism is the [[Ferriman-Gallwey score]] which gives a score based on the amount and location of hair growth on a woman.
*Internal carotid agenesis
*[[intracranial aneurysms|Internal carotid artery aneurysm]]
==Etiology==
*[[Intracerebral hemorrhage]]
The cause of hirsutism can be either an increased level of [[androgen]]s (male [[hormone]]s) or an oversensitivity of [[hair follicles]] to androgens. Male hormones such as [[testosterone]] stimulate hair growth, increase size and intensify the pigmentation of hair. Other symptoms associated with a high level of male hormones include [[Acne vulgaris|acne]] and deepening of the voice and increased muscle mass.
*[[cerebral arteriovenous malformation|Intracranial arteriovenous malformation]]
 
*[[Intracranial berry aneurysm]]
Growing evidence implicates high circulating levels of insulin in women to the development of hirsutism. This theory is consistent with the observation that obese (and thus presumably insulin resistant hyperinsulinemic) women are at high risk of becoming hirsute. Further, treatments that lower insulin levels will lead to a reduction in hirsutism.
*[[Intracranial hemorrhage]]
 
*[[Ischemia]]
It is speculated that insulin, at high enough concentration, stimulates the ovarian theca cells to produce androgens. There may also be an effect of high levels of insulin to activate the insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-1) receptor in those same cells. Again, the result is increased androgen production.
*[[Lacunar infarcts]]
 
{{col-break|width=33%}}
The following may be some of the conditions that may increase a woman's normally low level of male hormones:
*[[Lacunar stroke]]  
* [[Polycystic ovary syndrome]]  
*[[Left atrial myxoma]]
* [[Cushing's disease]]  
*[[thrombus|Left atrial thrombus]]  
* [[Tumor]]s in the [[ovaries]] or [[adrenal gland]] ([[cancer]])

Overview

Hirsutism (from Latin hirsutus = shaggy, hairy) is defined as excessive and increased hair growth in women in locations where the occurrence of terminal hair normally is minimal or absent. It refers to a male pattern of body hair (androgenic hair) and it is therefore primarily of cosmetic and psychological concern. Hirsutism is a symptom rather than a disease and may be a sign of a more serious medical indication, especially if it develops well after puberty.

Appearance and evaluation

Hirsutism only affects women, since the rising of androgens causes a male pattern of body hair, particularly in locations where women normally do not develop terminal hair within their puberty (chest, abdomen, back and face). The medical term for excessive hair growth that affect both men and women is hypertrichosis.

One method of evaluating hirsutism is the Ferriman-Gallwey score which gives a score based on the amount and location of hair growth on a woman.

Etiology

The cause of hirsutism can be either an increased level of androgens (male hormones) or an oversensitivity of hair follicles to androgens. Male hormones such as testosterone stimulate hair growth, increase size and intensify the pigmentation of hair. Other symptoms associated with a high level of male hormones include acne and deepening of the voice and increased muscle mass.

Growing evidence implicates high circulating levels of insulin in women to the development of hirsutism. This theory is consistent with the observation that obese (and thus presumably insulin resistant hyperinsulinemic) women are at high risk of becoming hirsute. Further, treatments that lower insulin levels will lead to a reduction in hirsutism.

It is speculated that insulin, at high enough concentration, stimulates the ovarian theca cells to produce androgens. There may also be an effect of high levels of insulin to activate the insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-1) receptor in those same cells. Again, the result is increased androgen production.

The following may be some of the conditions that may increase a woman's normally low level of male hormones:
