Hirsutism

Hirsutism is the presence of male-pattern hair growth in women. This is not synonymous with virilism, which, in addition to hirsutism, is associated with the development of male secondary sexual characteristics in women. Hypertrichosis refers to the excessive growth of hair and may occur in either sex.
