	MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Virilization
		Virilization is the development of male sex characteristics in a female.
		Virilization may result from too much testosterone production in the endocrine glands or from the use of anabolic steroids.
		Female newborns may also show signs of virilization if they or their mothers have a condition known as congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Virilization
		Virilization is most commonly used in three medical and biology of gender contexts: prenatal sexual differentiation, the postnatal changes of normal male puberty, and excessive androgen effects in girls or women.
		In the prenatal period, virilization refers to closure of the perineum, thinning and rugation of the scrotum, growth of the phallus, and closure of the urethral groove to the tip of the penis.
		Prenatal virilization of genetic females and undervirilization of genetic males are common causes of ambiguous genitalia and intersex conditions.

	Virilization: Adrenal Gland Disorders: Merck Manual Home Edition
		Virilization is the development of exaggerated masculine characteristics, usually in women, often as a result of the adrenal glands overproducing androgens (testosterone and similar hormones).
		The most common cause of virilization is an enlargement of the hormone-producing portions of the adrenal cortex (adrenal hyperplasia).
		Symptoms of virilization include excess facial and body hair (hirsutism), baldness, acne, deepening of the voice, increased muscularity, and an increased sex drive.

	Virilize definition - Medical Dictionary definitions of popular medical terms
		Virilize: To cause a female to develop male characteristics such as a deepened voice, an increase in body and facial hair, a decrease in breast size, an enlargement of the clitoris, and "male-pattern" baldness.
		The cause of virilization in most cases is an excess of male hormones in a female.
		The noun form of "virilize" is "virilization." "Virilize" and "virilization" are not to be confused with "masculinize" and "masculinization" which refer to the development of male characteristics in a male on a normal schedule during or on a precocious schedule in a younger boy.

	Hirsutism - New Treatments, January 2, 2007
		Virilization is less common than hirsutism and is more often associated with a potentially serious disorder such as an ovarian or adrenal tumor.
		On rare occasion signs of virilization (e.g., clitorimegaly) may develop in women with PCOS; this usually occurs as a result of particularly high rates of testosterone secretion in women with stromal hyperthecosis, a condition in which islands of luteinized thecal cells are present in the ovarian stroma distant from ovarian follicles.
		One cause of hirsutism, amenorrhea, and signs of virilization is the use of androgens for the purpose of body-building or in treatment of diminished libido or menopause.

		Virilization during pregnancy is a rare clinical event, and it is most commonly caused by pregnancy luteoma or hyperreactio luteinalis.
		In contrast to pregnancy luteoma, hyperreactio luteinalis is characterized by bilateral ovarian enlargement that is due to the presence of numerous luteinized follicular cysts.
		No cases of virilization of the newborn have been reported in hyperreactio luteinalis, even when there is virilization of the mother and elevated cord blood androgen levels (7).

	RGSDC - Information For Physicians
		Deficiency of 17,20-lyase impairs the ability to synthesize androgens and estrogens and causes male pseudohermaphroditism at birth and failure to virilize at puberty.
		Estimates of incidence of CAIS vary from 1 in 20,000 to 1 in 64,000 individuals with a 46,XY karyotype, and the disorder is the third most common form of primary amenorrhea after gonadal dysgenesis and congenital absence of the uterus in phenotypic women.
		Virilization at the time of expected puberty, which can be striking, is either mediated by the circulating dihydrotestosterone derived from the unaffected 5 a -reductase isoenzyme (type 1) or by high testosterone concentrations over a long period of time.

		The simple virilizing and salt-wasting forms of 21-hydroxylase deficiency are characterized by excess adrenal Deficiency of 21-hydroxylase occurs in three forms: 1) simple virilizing, 2) salt-wasting, and 3) nonclassical.
		The simple virilizing and salt-wasting forms of 21-hydroxylase deficiency are characterized by excess adrenal androgen biosynthesis in utero, which causes prenatal virilization of the genetic female and postnatal virilization of both boys and girls.
		It is not possible to distinguish between simple virilizing classical 21-OHD and salt-wasting classical 21-OHD based solely on the degree of virilization of an affected female at birth.

		In 1974 a rare autosomal form of male pseudohermaphroditism was described in 2 families; one from Dallas (175), and one from the Dominican Republic (176), in these cases, the underlying defect was shown to be a deficiency in the conversion of testosterone to its more active metabolite, dihydrotestosterone.
		Three cases adopted children and in one case in vitro fertilization using the patient's sperm cells resulted in twin siblings, a boy and a girl whose paternity was confirmed by microsatellite studies (184).
		A timing defect leading to lack of testosterone secretion at the critical period in which the virilization of the genitalia occurs can cause male pseudohermaphroditism, however, this is impossible to determine later in postnatal life with the methods available today.

		Virilization refers to attaining the characteristics of a mature male.
		Occasionally, a woman who is suffering virilizing affects from steroid use may be able to arrest the symptoms by using an anti-androgen like Aldactone.
		Since the virilizing effects women suffer from using anabolic steroids tend to be permanent, it is prudent to use caution at all times.
