Hüpertereoneem

Hüpertereoneem, also known as hyperandrogenism, is a medical condition characterized by an abnormally high level of androgens, which are male hormones. This condition can occur in both males and females, although it is more commonly associated with males. In females, hyperandrogenism can lead to symptoms such as hirsutism (excessive hair growth), acne, and menstrual irregularities. In males, it can cause symptoms like acne, excessive body hair, and reduced fertility.

The causes of hyperandrogenism can vary. In females, it may be due to conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), Cushing's syndrome, or certain medications. In males, it can be caused by conditions like congenital adrenal hyperplasia, adrenal tumors, or excessive androgen-producing medications.

Diagnosis of hyperandrogenism typically involves a combination of a physical examination, blood tests to measure hormone levels, and sometimes imaging studies. Treatment options depend on the underlying cause and may include medications to reduce androgen levels, hormonal therapy, or surgical interventions.

Hyperandrogenism can have significant impacts on a person's quality of life, affecting physical appearance, emotional well-being, and reproductive health. Early diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial for mitigating these effects.
