| Core Tip |
Idiopathic hirsutism (IH) is defined as hirsutism associated with normal ovulatory function, normal ovarian morphology and normal serum androgen levels, however, its pathogenesis is not clear. We have previously shown that, patients with IH have relatively higher serum androgen levels and demonstrated higher expression of steroid sulphatase and 17-beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase mRNA both in the subumbilical region and arm skin, which contributes to local androgen metabolism. Upon the demonstration of relative hyperandrogenemia and possible increase in local androgen synthesis in patients with IH, we think that idiopathic hirsutism is not idiopathic and it may be named as “normoandrogenic hirsutism”. |
