Article Abstract:
A case study of 19-year old women, suffering from hirsutism, which results from an interaction between the androgen level and the sensitivity of the hair follicle to androgen, is presented. It is suggested for that for women suffering with hirsuitism, the medical history and physical examination should assess whether there are any features to suggest the presence of a neoplasm or endrocrinopathy, particularly polycystic ovary syndrome.
