An antiandrogen is a drug that blocks the effects of androgens in the body. Androgens are hormones that are produced in the male gonads and influence the development and functioning of the male genital organs. However, some women may experience symptoms associated with excess androgens in the body, such as increased hairiness, acne, increased muscle mass, and others.
Antiandrogens can be used to treat conditions such as hirsutism (excessive hairiness), acne, androgen-induced excess weight, and others. These drugs block the action of androgens, which leads to a decrease in the amount of androgens in the body and a reduction in symptoms associated with excess androgens.
However, it should be noted that anti-androgen drugs may have side effects, such as reducing testosterone levels in the body, which can lead to decreased libido and reduced contraceptive effectiveness. Therefore, before starting to take antiandrogens, you must consult your doctor and undergo the necessary examinations.
