Hirsutism.
Abstract
One of the most psychosocially distressing conditions to appear in women is Hirsutism. Hirsutism is defined as the occurrence of coarse/terminal hairs in a female with a distribution pattern that is typically associated with the adult male (Tülay and Metwally, 2015; Kalu, and Gilling-Smith, 2008; Ali and Dawber, 2006). The word “Hirsutism” is derived from the Latin word “hirsutus" which means ‘hairy’ or ‘shaggy’.
