Virilism

Virilism is the appearance in women of a number of male secondary sexual characteristics: male-pattern hair growth, low voice, increased development of skeletal muscles. Virilism occurs under the influence of excess production of male sex hormones - androgens, which are normally produced in small quantities. Dysfunction of the adrenal cortex and ovaries due to various diseases of these organs or their regulatory systems lead to increased production of androgens.

With virilism, the function of the ovaries is inhibited, a decrease in the size of the female genital organs and mammary glands occurs, and the menstrual cycle is disrupted. Treatment is carried out by a specialist doctor. In some cases, surgery is indicated. Also with virilism, the endocrine system suffers.

Virilism is a male syndrome that manifests itself in dominance and aggression, as well as neglect of women and children. Virilists believe that men have the right to superiority and power, and women and children should submit to the male will. This syndrome was described in ancient times, but in our time it has become especially relevant.

There are several reasons why men exhibit virilism. First, it may be due to social norms and expectations. Many men believe that they should be strong and reliable, which means they should be aggressive and dominate others. Additionally, many men feel insecure and afraid of being rejected if they don't show their strength.

Secondly, virilism may be associated with mental disorders such as narcissism or delusions of grandeur. These people may be aggressive and disrespectful.
