Between the terms "hirsutism" and "hypertrichosis" there is a difference: the first designates men's type of pilosis at women, and the second - quantitative increase in hair on a body.
Constitutional form of a hirsutism. Such type of a hirsutism has hereditary character. At this type of the raised pilosis products of androgens are normal.

It is necessary to remember that the chronic stress and the exhausting hunger strikes can provoke development of indumentum on a body of women.

This diagnosis is made at the normal and increased content of free testosterone and impossibility to establish a cause of illness.
