How harmful is it for girls to have high levels of male hormones?

We all know that there are hormones in our bodies, which are what we usually call hormones. There are many kinds of hormones in our bodies that affect our health. The most important ones are androgen and estrogen. The proportion of androgen and estrogen varies with gender. If one of them is secreted excessively but should be at a low level, it may cause harm to the body. So how harmful is it for girls to have excessive secretion of androgen? Let me introduce it to you today.

The main side effect of androgen is liver damage, which is most common with 17α-alkylated androgens such as stanozolol. Androgen drugs also have side effects such as skin acne, increased body hair, skin capillary dilation, pigmentation, mild pitting edema of the lower limbs, seborrheic alopecia, male pattern baldness, thrombosis, cardiovascular damage, and hypersexuality.

Excessive secretion of male hormones in women is also a common phenomenon in life. Excessive secretion of male hormones will result in masculine characteristics such as excessive hair and darkening of the skin. It seriously affects the image of women. Excessive secretion of male hormones causes the body's gonadal secretions to lose balance, and testosterone levels will suppress estrogen levels. If testosterone levels are too high for a long time and estrogen levels are too low, it will inhibit follicle-stimulating hormone, causing the ovarian follicles to fail to mature, and eventually develop into polycystic ovaries and cause female infertility. Obesity is also related to the level of sex hormones in the body. The reasons for high levels of male hormones in women include changes in diet, increased mental stress, and environmental factors. Patients should adjust their diet and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment. While controlling their weight, women should pay attention to whether their menstrual cycles are too long or their menstrual flow is too little and seek medical attention as soon as possible to adjust their sex hormone levels to normal levels and avoid polycystic ovary syndrome.

To treat these diseases, we must start with regulating the endocrine system, so that Qi and blood can flow smoothly, the essence and blood can nourish the whole body, promote blood circulation, and comprehensively regulate from the inside out. According to the principle of TCM's syndrome differentiation and treatment, those with hyperfunction should pay more attention to yin-nourishing treatment, while those with hypofunction often show symptoms of qi and blood deficiency, kidney deficiency, etc., and are generally given blood-tonifying and qi-tonifying, kidney-tonifying and other treatments to improve the situation.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of how harmful the excessive secretion of male hormones is for girls. In fact, many girls are troubled by the problem of excessive hair growth. If the secretion of male hormones is excessive, it will cause varying degrees of excessive hair growth. It can also lead to other diseases.
