Overview
Hirsutism must be differentiated based on the different diseases causing hirsutism such as 21-hydroxylase deficiency, 11-β hydroxylase deficiency, 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency, polycystic ovary syndrome, Cushing's syndrome, and hyperprolactinemia.
Differential Diagnosis
The diagnosis of hirsutism requires the exclusion of related disorders with peripheral androgen activity. Hirsutism starts shortly after puberty with a slow course and progression. Hirsutism must be differentiated from other diseases causing excessive hair growth on the body such as 21-hydroxylase deficiency, 11-β hydroxylase deficiency, 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency, polycystic ovary syndrome, Cushing's syndrome, and hyperprolactinemia.[1][2][3]
