When to Use

Primary Clinical Uses

Standardized visual assessment to quantify the severity of hirsutism in women

Fulfilling the clinical hyperandrogenism criteria for the diagnosis of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

Monitoring therapeutic response to anti-androgen treatments or oral contraceptives

Patient Context

Hirsutism (excess terminal hair in a male-pattern distribution) is distinct from hypertrichosis (generalized excess hair everywhere). The FG score exclusively targets androgen-sensitive regions to differentiate the two.
