Why do girls secrete too much testosterone?

Androgens are generally growth hormones metabolized by men and are metabolized by the male testicles. Women metabolize very little androgen, mainly in the uterus and ovaries. However, in daily life, some women have too high levels of androgen in their bodies, which causes them to become obese, have too much hair, and have some characteristics of men. Therefore, too high levels of androgen in women can cause great harm. So why do girls have excessive androgen metabolism? Let’s take a look together below.

Factors causing excessive androgen levels in women may include drugs, ovarian disease, adrenal disease, systemic hirsutism, mental factors, etc., especially adrenal diseases are more common.

If a woman suffers from a pituitary tumor or adrenal tumor, it may cause excessive secretion of male hormones in the body, which may cause the woman to have masculine characteristics. In addition, endocrine imbalance in women and low estrogen metabolism can also cause the weakening of masculinity (characteristics).

How to treat excessive androgen metabolism in women:

1. Maintain adequate sleep and regular food, clothing, housing and transportation.

2. Understand the cause and treat it accordingly. Find out the cause of excessive androgen metabolism in the body and treat it with medication: Excessive androgen metabolism in some women is caused by polycystic ovary syndrome or endocrine imbalance. Be sure to find the cause first and treat it with medicine.

3. Maintain a stable mindset. The main reason for excessive androgen is endocrine imbalance, the cerebral cortex is not sensitive to endocrine regulation or the uterine wall is damaged, which fails to respond to female hormones, reflexively affecting endocrine regulation and reducing the chances of successful pregnancy. Some women also experience negative emotions such as anxiety, anger, and depression due to the influence of the external natural environment. It is recommended that ladies pay attention to adjusting their mentality and keep a happy and cheerful mood.

4. Control your weight. While controlling their weight, women should also pay attention to their menstrual cycles. If they find that their cycles are too long or their menstrual flow is too little, they should seek medical attention as soon as possible to immediately stop the trend of excessive androgen secretion, adjust estrogen levels to normal levels, and minimize polycystic ovary syndrome.
