Masculinization in women is an undesirable effect of sex hormone diseases.
PCOD, being one of the most common causes nowadays, has a lot of attention.
One of the most overlooked causes of masculinization in women is hyperthecosis.
The symptoms are similar except that Hyperthecosis has more severe symptoms of virilization compared to PCOS. PCOS is a lifestyle disorder whereas Hyperthecosis is caused due to ovarian tissue growth (hyperplasia).
The solution to PCOS is pretty straightforward wherein the female needs to change her lifestyle habits(diet and exercise). Although for Hyperthecosis, this solution will help, it might also require medical/surgical intervention depending on the severity of the pathology.
