Causes of high androgen levels in women

It is commonly believed that girls secrete estrogen and boys secrete androgen. In fact, this is not the case. Normal girls also secrete androgen. The growth of fine sweat hair is a manifestation of androgen. When a girl's body has high levels of androgen due to her daily living habits or genetic factors, what will happen at this time? Let's take a look today.

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 diseases such as adrenal syndrome, Cushing's syndrome, adrenal or pituitary tumors, they will produce too much androgen, which often stimulates excessive growth of body hair, including beards. Excessive body hair will improve after puberty.

Supplementing estrogen foods has a certain effect. You can take royal jelly, honey, soy milk, soybeans and their products. If you need to solve the problem urgently, you can do laser hair removal. Do not take medicine indiscriminately, as artificial estrogen can easily lead to malignant tumors. However, if it is too thick, black and dense, it should be taken seriously. It may be caused by metabolic disorders, endocrine disorders, or genetic factors. It is best to go to the endocrinology department of the hospital for a detailed examination.

If your financial situation allows, drink 5 grams (about one spoonful) of royal jelly every day. (If you are under 50 years old) Secondly: Eat more soy products in your life, especially drink more soy milk, because soy milk is also rich in estrogen. In addition: To determine whether you have insufficient estrogen secretion, you need to take a sex hormone test.

Increased testosterone (androgen) in the blood is common in female hirsutism, polycystic ovary syndrome, the use of testosterone or endocrine drugs with androgenic effects, etc. It may also be caused by endocrine disorders. You should find out the cause and treat it symptomatically. Eat more tofu, bean products, papaya, and milk. It is best not to take estrogen directly, as it will have many side effects, such as affecting the menstrual cycle, causing weight gain, etc.

If you find that you have irregular menstruation and have more hair, you can go to the hospital for a check-up to see what is happening in your body. If your male hormone level is high, don't worry too much. Keep a happy mood, drink more soy milk and eat more soy products. This is beneficial to the secretion of female estrogen. I hope the above suggestions can help you.
