📖What is Excessive Hair Growth?

Excessive hair growth, or hirsutism, is the growth of thick, dark hair in a male-like pattern on areas such as the face, chest, or back, most commonly noticed in women. It often develops gradually and can be distressing, frequently linked to an underlying hormonal imbalance involving excess androgen (male hormone) levels. It may be accompanied by acne or irregular menstrual cycles.
