A member asked:
Can stress on its own lead to worsened hirsutism or is it due to increased androgen / insulin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Stress does not lead to this. Hirsutism is caused by increased Androgens .In obese adipose tissue or fatty tissue can convert estrogen to testosterone And cause excess hairiness
