Abstract

Background and Aim: HIRSUTISM is defined as the presence of terminal hairs in androgen dependent areas in women. It is a common clinical condition and affects 5% to 10% of women of reproductive age. The aim of this study was to determine the clinical features and etiologic factors of HIRSUTISM in premenopausal women.Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 200 premenopausal women with HIRSUTISM who were admitted at our dermatologic clinic during a 2-year period were investigated. After a careful history and physical examination, a trans abdominal ultrasonography of the ovaries and laboratory evaluation including early morning total testosterone, prolactin, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) and 17-hydroxyprogestron in all patients and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in 10 patients were performed.Results: POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME (PCOS) was the most common cause of the HIRSUTISM (54.5%) followed by idiopathic HIRSUTISM (40%). Other causes of HIRSUTISM were prolactinoma (2%), hypothyroidism (1%) and drugs intake (2.5%).HIRSUTISM was mild in 109 patients (54.5%), moderate in 85 patients (42.5%) and severe in 6 patients (3%). Family history of HIRSUTISM was present in 105 (52.5%) patients. Clinical conditions associated with HIRSUTISM were: ACNE (52.5%), menstrual irregularity (35%), androgenetic alopecia (15%), acanthosis negricans (7.5%) and obesity (37.5%).Conclusion: PCOS and idiopathic HIRSUTISM are the most common cause of the HIRSUTISM in premenopausal women. A detailed history and physical exam often provide enough information to determine the etiology of HIRSUTISM.
