| Popis: | SummaryThe photographic method for measuring linear hair growth rate in hirsute women was shown to be highly reliable and reproducible in a normal clinic setting. The method was then used to study response to treatment with anti-androgens in 41 hirsute women. Twenty-one women were treated with spironolactone and Ovysmen (ethinyl oestradiol 35 μg, norethisterone 500 μg) for 6 months (group A) and 20 women were treated with cyproterone acetate and ethinyloestradiol for 6 months (group B). There was a decrease in linear hair growth of 29 per cent in group A (P< 0–001) and 37 per cent in group B (.P |
