Синдром гиперандрогении: клиника, диагностика, лечение

The prevalence of conditions associated with androgen excess in one way or another in the female population ranges from 10 to 30 percent. Androgen biosynthesis is similar in both men and women, but regulation of this biosynthesis in the ovaries and testes operates differently. In women, there is no feedback loop during this regulation process, and under the influence of luteinizing hormone, androgen biosynthesis actually increases. Therefore, hyperandrogenism can only be considered in women. Professor Irina Vsevolodovna Kuznetsova, MD, Chief Researcher at the Research Center for Women's Health at the I.M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University, discusses the clinical presentation of hyperandrogenism syndrome, diagnostic features, and treatment regimens.
