Hastalarla ilgili demografik, klinik ve laboratuvar parametreler incelendi.Bulgular: Çalışma sonucu hirsutizmin en sık nedeninin polikistik over sendromu olduğunu göstermiştir. İkinci en sık neden idiopatik hirsutizm bulunmuştur.Sonuç: Bu çalışmayla birlikte etnik ve kültürel farklılığın yoğun olduğu bölgemizde ilk olarak hirsutizmin etyolojik faktörleri incelenmiştir. Cushing sendromu, hiperprolaktinemi, non klasik adrenal hiperplazi, androjen salgılayan tümörler gibi nadir görülen durumlarda hirsutizmin ayrıcı tanısında düşünülmelidir.Objective: Hirsutism, similar to men, is the presence of terminal hairs in androgen-to sensitive areas in women.
