    Extractions: It is self evident that one of the features that distinguishes human males from females are hair patterns. CRIN in Spanish is mane. Although CRIN traits are controlled by endoCRINe factors, language experts will point out that CRIN in endocrine has more to do with CRITical. Nonetheless, exoCRINe glands cluster around hair or CRIN follicles and endoCRINe hormones control hair growth and distribution.

    Extractions: Pituitary adenoma It is estimated that 5–10 percent of American women suffer from hirsutism, or significant excess facial or body hair. Many women have mild "excess" hair growth, such as a "shadow" on the upper lip. This doesn't mean you have PCOS or any other disorder, and the hair can simply be removed by waxing or electrolysis. But severe hirsutism is much more troublesome, especially emotionally, and removal can be very costly, painful, and incredibly time-consuming. If hirsutism is a serious problem for you, it's not enough for a doctor to tell you to get electrolysis (although electrolysis is effective, it's a dauntingly tedious, expensive process for anyone faced with more than a moustache and a few chin hairs). ("Hirsutism" and "hypertrichosis" aren't synonymous, although they're often used interchangeably. Hypertrichosis doesn't always follow the male-pattern hair growth seen in hirsutism; it's more generalized and has a different etiology.) Appearance is the number one concern of most hirsute women, but clinical hirsutism is not a trivial cosmetic problem. It is a treatable medical condition; in fact there are compelling noncosmetic reasons for treatment. (See "

    Extractions: Hirsutism is not a disease. The condition usually develops during puberty and becomes more pronounced as the years go by. However, an inherited tendency, over-production of male hormones (androgens), medication, or disease, can cause it to appear at any age. Women who have hirsutism usually have irregular menstrual cycles. They sometimes have small breasts and deep voices, and their muscles and genitals may become larger than women without the condition. Types of hirsutism Idiopathic hirsutism is probably hereditary, because there is usually a family history of the disorder. Women with idiopathic hirsutism have normal menstrual cycles and no evidence of any of the conditions associated with secondary hirsutism. Secondary hirsutism is most often associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (an inherited hormonal disorder characterized by menstrual irregularities, biochemical abnormalities, and obesity ). This type of hirsutism may also be caused by:

    hirsutism (also see the related topic of PCOS). There are two conditions characterizedby generalized hair growth that do not represent true hirsutism  
    http://www.bouldermedicalcenter.com/Articles/Hirsutism.htm
    
    Extractions: Hirsutism is the development of androgen-dependent terminal body hair in a woman in places in which terminal hair is normally not found. Terminal body hairs are the stiff, pigmented hairs normally seen in men on the face, chest, abdomen, and back, and which are not normal in women. A woman's definition of hirsutism may differ depending upon her ethnic background and upon her interpretation of normal, which is often influenced by popular images of hairless female beauty. Any definition of normal body hair must take into consideration race and ethnicity. Most Asian and Native American women have little body hair, while Mediterranean women on average have moderately heavy body hair. The most important consideration, whatever the woman's background, is whether the pattern of hair growth has changed or the rate of growth has increased. There are two conditions characterized by generalized hair growth that do not represent true hirsutism: Androgen-independent hair, which is the soft, vellus, unpigmented hair that covers the entire body. In infants, this hair is called lanugo.

    Extractions: Hirsutism What is it? Hirsutism is the presence of excessive body or facial hair. For women, the areas most affected are the 'beard' area (upper lip, chin, front of the ears), the chest, the abdomen and the front of the thighs. The condition varies from being mild and hardly noticeable to being obvious. What is normal? Many women feel they are very 'hairy', but if this occurs in the normal female hair-growth areas (such as the armpit, forearms, pubic area and around the nipples) there is no cause for concern. A tendency to be 'hairy' may run in families or be prevalent in some races, such as those from the Mediterranean region. Even if the hair growth seems to be in a male pattern, there is usually no serious underlying cause and the problem can be treated. What causes it? Often hairiness runs in families or is more common in certain races, such as negroids. It is rare in orientals. Certain medications, such as anti-epilepsy drugs and some oral contraceptive pills, can cause it. Uncommonly, it can be due to a hormone imbalance, or to cysts or tumours of the ovaries or adrenal glands. What can be done?

    Extractions: New Hope for Dealing with Unwanted Hair By Joseph Gonzalez Adolescence hit Paula D. with too much hair in all the wrong places. As a teenager, she could do little except feel bad about herself. But once Paula had the means, she embarked on a two-year, several-thousand-dollar course of electrolysis treatments to remove hair from her bikini area and upper lip. She underwent laser treatments to clear up her arms, and still waxes her legs once a month. Now in her 40s, Paula has her body hair under control, but those negative adolescent feelings still surface from time to time. In a society that often sets impossibly high standards for feminine beauty, excessive facial and body hair in a woman can be a heavy burden, both psychologically and socially. The medical term for abnormal hair growth is hirsutism , but determining what is abnormal is not always simple. Even apparently hairless skin may be covered with short, soft, usually colorless hairs, called vellus hairs. Hair growth may be considered abnormal in a woman when these fine hairs are replaced by longer, coarser terminal Why Some Women Have More Hair

    Extractions: Medical Encyclopedia Encyclopedia Symptoms H -> Hair - excessive on females Hair - excessive on females Alternate Names: Hypertrichosis; Hirsutism; Excessive hair on females Considerations: Hirsutism produces enlarged hair follicles, enlargement and increased pigmentation of hair, and typically occurs in a distribution pattern normally seen in adult males. Causes may be hereditary, or involve endocrine system abnormalities, or certain medications such as minoxidil, androgenic steroids, or testosterone . Endocrine abnormalities which can result in excessive hair growth are acromegaly precocious puberty congenital adrenal hyperplasia , and ovarian lesions. Signs of masculinization, such as deepening of the voice, excessive facial hair growth, increased muscle mass, decreased breast size, increased size of genitals, and menstrual irregularities , may be associated with this condition. Risk factors include a family history of hirsutism, endocrine disorders, use of androgens (androgenic steroids or testosterone), and older age. Common Causes: can be normal depending on racial and geographic origin familial (common for the family) menopause overactive adrenal gland medications (such as testosterone and minoxidil) ovarian cysts tumor , or cancer pregnancy puberty idiopathic (no known cause) acromegaly adrenocortical carcinoma anovulatory bleeding classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia hyperprolactinemia nonclassical congenital adrenal hyperplasia

    Extractions: Signs, symptoms and indicators Conditions that suggest it Contributing risk factors Recommendations Hirsutism is the term used for excessive hair growth in women. It refers to a male pattern of hair, i.e. in the moustache and beard areas, or occurring more thickly than usual on the limbs. There may be hairs on the chest or an extension of pubic hair on to the abdomen and thighs. What is considered normal for a woman, and what is considered hirsute, depends on cultural factors and race. Hirsutism is very common. Hirsutism is nearly always genetic in origin. In families where hirsutism is normal, both female and male relatives may have more hair than average. Although some women with hirsutism have increased amounts of male hormones (e.g. DHEA or testosterone ), most have normal levels. The problem in these women is that the hairs are more sensitive than normal to small amounts of hormone . The hairs grow more quickly and thicker in response to it. The increased growth is usually first noted in late teenage years and tends to gradually get more severe as the woman gets older. If it occurs either with or without acne after hormone use, it is a sign of elevated
