The dangers of high testosterone levels in women

If female friends find that they have high levels of male hormones in their lives, we suggest that they should pay attention to it, because high levels of male hormones may cause symptoms of infertility. High levels of male hormones in women can be seen in daily life, for example, women may grow beards or have irregular menstruation, etc. I hope you can pay attention to this.

Androgens are not exclusive to men, they are also secreted by normal women. When the secretion of estrogen is insufficient during adolescence, women will develop male secondary sexual characteristics due to the increase in androgen content, and grow fine sweat hair, so girls will also grow "beards". Insufficient estrogen secretion may be caused by stress or temporary endocrine disorders caused by menstruation. The causes of excessive androgen in the body include adrenal cortex diseases, ovarian diseases, constitutional hirsutism, mental factors, and drug effects, among which adrenal cortex diseases are the most common. If women suffer from adrenal syndrome, Cushing's syndrome, adrenal or pituitary tumors and other diseases, they will produce too much androgen, which often stimulates excessive growth of body hair, including beards.

High levels of androgen in women are generally seen in endocrine disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome, etc., and may cause symptoms such as increased vellus hair on the skin, increased beard, amenorrhea or menstrual disorders, and in rare cases affect pregnancy. For the treatment of this disease, it is necessary to use some anti-androgen drugs such as finasteride, and estrogen can also be appropriately supplemented, such as Diane 35 and other drugs.

Usually the lesions of hyperandrogenism are mainly in the ovaries and adrenal glands. If the female endocrine system functions abnormally, the ovaries will produce too much male hormone, inhibiting normal ovulation and causing women to become infertile due to polycystic ovary syndrome. It can also lead to other diseases, such as high blood pressure and depression. Weight loss and lifestyle changes are some of the methods for treating hyperandrogenism, and various drug treatments or the combined use of several drugs in small doses should also be combined. In addition, while managing hyperandrogenism, efforts should also be made to reduce the risk of associated diseases including endometrial hyperplasia or endometrial cancer, dysfunctional bleeding, type 2 diabetes, and dyslipidemia.

The article introduces to us in detail the dangers of high levels of male hormones in women. We hope that female friends should seek timely treatment if they find that their male hormones are high in their lives. Once the male hormone level is high, we can supplement female hormones in our lives to balance the hormones in the body, which can prevent the occurrence of some menstrual disorders.
