Hirsutism is the medical term for excess body or facial hair in women.
It can easily be described as a male hair growth pattern or distribution on a female body. Hirsutism is considered a disease by many medical authorities and can be the result of a serious underlying disorder that can be easily be ruled out with a medical history and some simple blood tests. Women with hirsutism have an increased production rate of testosterone and androstenedione. Hypertrichosis is usually described as an excessive quantity of hair in a normal location on one's body compared to others of the same sex, age, and ethnic background. Men usually have hair on their chest.
