Definition:
Hyperandrogenism is when there are abnormally high levels of the androgen hormones. Women with hyperandrogenism may experience infertility, hirsutism (abnormal hair growth on the chin, upper lips, breasts, or abdomen), acne, or thinning hair. Hyperandrogenism may be a symptom of PCOS, congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), or androgen-secreting tumors, all of which may cause infertility in women.
