Association between biochemical hyperandrogenism parameters and modified Ferriman-Gallwey score in patients with hirsutism in Basrah (Southern Iraq)

Rudha Naser Hussein et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the severity of hirsutism and its correlation with serum androgen levels in women from Basrah, Southern Iraq. The results showed a significant association between the severity of hirsutism and levels of FT and TT, with DHEA-S not found to be beneficial. This suggests that FT and TT are important markers of hyperandrogenism that correlate with hirsutism severity.
