Yes, hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is often linked to hormonal factors. Hormonal changes can influence the severity and frequency of HS flare-ups. For instance, women may experience flare-ups related to their menstrual cycle due to hormone fluctuations. Hormonal treatments, such as certain types of birth control pills or anti-androgens like spironolactone, are sometimes recommended to help manage symptoms. Hormonal therapy is considered a useful treatment option, especially for women with mild to moderate HS.
