'''Hyperandrogenism''' is a condition under the [[hypergonadism]] umbrella, in which one produces a high level of androgens (such as testosterone) in [[AFAB]]/[[CTF]] individuals. Symptoms may include acne, seborrhea (inflamed skin), hair loss on the scalp, increased body or facial hair, infrequent, irregular, or absent menstruation, and high blood cholesterol. Hyperandrogenism is not a diagnosis on its own, but is a symptom that occurs in several medical conditions including several conditions of [[intersex]]. |
