WHAT DOES HIRSUTISM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

hirsutism

Hirsutism

Hirsutism is the excessive hairiness on women in those parts of the body where terminal hair does not normally occur or is minimal - for example, a beard or chest hair. It refers to a male pattern of body hair and it is therefore primarily of cosmetic and psychological concern. Hirsutism is a medical sign rather than a disease and may be a sign of a more serious medical condition, especially if it develops well after puberty. The amount and location of the hair is measured by a Ferriman-Gallwey score.

Definition of hirsutism in the English dictionary

The definition of hirsutism in the dictionary is the condition of being abnormally hairy.
