Abstract:

Introduction. Many patients who were diagnosed as polycystic ovary syndrome- (PCOS-) related acne were not capable of sustaining or beginning oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) due to pill scaring, contraindications of OCP use, migraine, or smoking. In this situation, oral isotretinoin treatment may become an important option for PCOS-related acne. The aim of the study was to determine the effects of isotretinoin treatment on PCOS patients who were complicated with severe cystic acne. Materials and Methods. This study consisted of 40 female patients diagnosed as PCOS complicated with severe cysti

Abstract:

Key content Hirsutism is the presence of excess terminal hairs in androgen‐dependent areas in women. The Ferriman–Gallwey score is a pictorial tool used to quantify hirsutism. Polycystic ovary syndrome is the most common cause of hirsutism. In patients with an abnormal Ferriman–Gallwey score or local sexual hair growth, with clinical evidence of a hyperandrogenic endocrine disorder, it is important to measure the total testosterone levels using a reliable specialty assay. Methods of hair reduction and removal remain an important part of management. For most patients who do not seek fertility,

Abstract:

Hirsutism is defined as the presence of terminal hair with male pattern distribution in women. While in the general population, hirsutism affects around 4–11% of women, it is the main manifestation of hyperandrogenism in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), with a prevalence estimated at 65–75%. Hirsutism in PCOS is associated with both androgen excess and individual response of the pilosebaceous unit to androgens. The modified Ferriman–Gallwey (mFG) scoring system has been widely used in clinical practice to visually score excessive terminal hair, thus standardizing hirsutism evaluati

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION: Hirsutism affects 5–15% of reproductive-aged women. The gold standard for quantifying hirsutism is the modified Ferriman–Gallwey (mFG) score. This study explores whether adolescent and physician ratings of hirsutism using the mFG score, correlate with androgen levels in the setting of confounders like depilation. METHODS: Hispanic adolescent females with irregular menstruation and suspected polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) were recruited from obstetrics and gynecology clinics at TTUHSC El Paso between September 2021 and May 2023. Patients completed an intake questionnaire, comple

Abstract:

Background: Hirsutism is a condition characterized by growth of excessive male-pattern (i.e., face, chest, abdomen, lower back, upper arms, and thighs) hair in women. The prevalence of hirsutism has been reported to be between 5% and 15% in women and can be caused by various factors, including the use of medications such as Tamoxifen. The modified Ferriman-Gallwey (mFG) score is the preferred and most widely used method for scoring excess terminal hair in the assessment of hirsutism.

BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a common gynecologic endocrine disorder affecting between 2.2% and 26% of the population. It is typically characterized by hirsutism and signs of ovulatory dysfunction. Hirsutism is defined as the presence of excess body or facial terminal hair growth in females, following a male-like pattern. It is diagnosed using visual assessment methods, such as the modified Ferriman–Gallwey (mFG) scoring system, and biochemical tests, including measurements of total testosterone (tT) and the free androgen index (FAI).
