Medical Conditions - Hirsutism

Women with dark and coarse body hair in places where only men have hair like face, chest, neck, and back is called hirsutism. The common causes of hirsutism are polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOD), Cushing's syndrome, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, androgen-secreting tumors, and some medications (Danazol and Fluoxetine).
