A woman with hirsutism from increased androgen exposure<unk>  affects 5–10% of women of reproductive age.<unk>  can affect both men and women but is more noticeable in women since elevated levels of androgens in women may facilitate virilization. Because<unk>  is characterized by elevated male sex hormone levels, symptoms of<unk>  in men are often negligible.<unk>  in women is typically diagnosed in late adolescence with a medical evaluation. The medical evaluation usually consists of a pelvic exam, observation of external symptoms, and a blood test measuring androgen levels. Symptoms may include the following: Women<unk> , especially high levels of testosterone, can cause serious adverse effects if left untreated. High testosterone levels are associated with other health conditions such as obesity, hypertension, amenorrhea (cessation of menstrual cycles), and ovulatory dysfunction, which can lead to infertility. Prominent signs of<unk>  are hirsutism (unwanted growth of<unk> ir, especially in the abdominal region and on the back), adult acne, deepening of the voice, and alopecia (balding).<unk> <unk> s also been observed to increase insulin tolerance, which can lead to type two diabetes and dyslipidemia, such as high cholesterol. These effects may<unk> ve psychological impacts, sometimes leading to social anxiety and depression, especially in adolescent girls and young women. Paired with obesity and hirsutism, it can cause the individual to<unk> ve low self-esteem. Men Administration of high-dose testosterone in men over a course of weeks can cause an increase in aggression and hypomanic symptoms, though these were see in only a minority of subjects. Acute high-dose anabolic-androgenic steroid administration in males attenuates endogenous sex hormone production and affects the thyroid hormone axis. Effects on mood and aggression observed during high-dose anabolic-androgenic steroid administration may occur secondarily to hormonal changes. Many of the same signs and symptoms that are seen in women, such as alopecia and acne, may also be found in men. Enlargement of the prostate may also occur.
