Abstract
The clinical approach to hirsutism has two different aims:
-
1)
To perform a correct evaluation of the degree of hirsutism and its eventual association to other clinical manifestations of abnormal androgenization, and
-
2)
To obtain, by means of appropriate investigation, an indication of the aetiology of hirsutism in view of giving appropriate treatment.
