Overview
In some cases of hirsutism, surgery may be indicated.
Surgery
If a tumor of ovaries or adrenal glands is the underlying cause of hirsutism, surgery may be the treatment option.[1]
Oophorectomy is indicated sometimes for perimenopausal or postmenopausal women with severe hyperandrogenism.[2][3]
