hyperthecosis การใช้

Hyperthecosis is mostly seen in postmenopausal women and is linked to acne, hirsutism, growth of the clitoris, baldness, and voice deepening.
Hyperthecosis occurs when the cells of the ovarian stroma transition from interstitial cells, which are cells located in between other cells, into luteinized theca cells.
The term hyperthecosis refers to the presence of nests of luteinized theca cells in the ovarian stroma due to differentiation of the ovarian interstitial cells into steroidogenically active luteinized stromal cells.
The clinical features of hyperthecosis are similar to those of PCOS . However, women with hyperthecosis often have more markedly elevated testosterone, more hirsutism, and are much more likely to be virilized.
