What does hypersecretion of sex corticoids lead to in an individual?

Hypersecretion of sex corticoids, which are androgens produced by the adrenal cortex, leads to a condition known as adrenal virilism. This occurs because the excess production of male sex hormones results in the development of male secondary sexual characteristics in females and can also affect males, though the effects are more pronounced in females. Symptoms often include hirsutism (excessive hair growth), voice deepening, and other masculinizing traits.

In this context, the other conditions listed do not pertain directly to the hypersecretion of sex corticoids. Cushing's syndrome relates to an overproduction of cortisol and is characterized by features such as obesity and hypertension, while Addison's disease is associated with insufficient production of adrenal hormones, leading to symptoms like low blood pressure and fatigue. Hypotension itself is a symptom of adrenal insufficiency rather than hypersecretion, thus distinguishing adrenal virilism as the correct choice for the consequences of excess sex corticoids.
