Annotation
general or unspecified; prefer specific manifestation such as
HIRSUTISM
;
VIRILISM
; etc.
Scope Note
A condition caused by the excessive secretion of
ANDROGENS
from the
ADRENAL CORTEX
; the
OVARIES
; or the
TESTES
. The clinical significance in males is negligible. In women, the common manifestations are
HIRSUTISM
and
VIRILISM
as seen in patients with
POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME
and
