Hyperandrogenism syndrome, the main manifestations of which are pathological hirsutism, acne, oily seborrhea, androgenic alopecia, accompanies a wide range of diseases of the female reproductive system, manifested by various disorders of menstrual function and infertility. Isolated hirsutism is also a serious psychological and cosmetic problem, especially since almost one in ten women of reproductive age have excessive hair growth. To get rid of "excess" hair, women use various methods. However, in severe manifestations of hyperandrogenism or in the case of severe and moderate hirsutism, it is advisable to use systemic antiandrogenic therapy.
