Indications of virilization may include: •           Deepening voice •           Balding •           Acne •           Decreased bosom size •           Increased bulk •           Enlargement of the clitoris A few components can impact your probability of creating hirsutism, including: •           Family history. A few conditions that cause hirsutism, including inherent adrenal hyperplasia and polycystic ovary disorder, run in families. •           Ancestry.
