what is hirsutism
Hirsutism is the excessive hairiness on women in those parts of the body where terminal hair does not normally occur or is minimal â for example, a beard or chest hair.irsutism can be caused by either an increased level of androgens, the male hormones, or an oversensitivity of hair follicles to androgens. Male hormones such as testosterone stimulate hair growth, increase size and intensify the growth and pigmentation of hair.
