What to do if you have high androgen levels and are infertile

The levels of male and female hormones in each person's body are within a certain range. If they exceed this range, it will cause some other diseases or symptoms. For example, if the male hormone level in a woman's body is too high, it will cause polycystic ovary syndrome, masculine characteristics, etc. What should be done about infertility caused by high androgen levels? Usually, lowering androgen can be done through medication or surgery, and it can also be done through food conditioning.

1. Common treatments for high levels of testosterone in women

1. Scientific examination: For patients with vigorous androgen secretion, scientific examinations are needed to see what diseases have been caused by excessive androgen. Obesity, infrequent menstruation, and amenorrhea are common symptoms. A relatively common disease is polycystic ovary syndrome. This disease is currently the most common.

If the final examination confirms that it is polycystic ovary syndrome, symptomatic treatment will be needed based on the causes of the disease.

2. Drug treatment: The use of drugs to treat PCOS will mostly counteract the effects of androgens and induce ovulation. They are willing to choose medication to treat polycystic ovary, but they don’t know that taking medication alone has almost no effect on polycystic ovary, and if used for a long time, it is likely to cause premature ovarian failure, or malignant tumors, or even fetal malformations. For patients with polycystic ovary syndrome, surgery is a better method.

4. General treatment: Patients with PCOS should actively exercise, reduce the intake of high-fat and high-sugar foods as much as possible, and lose weight. This can cause the androgen level to drop, which is beneficial for restoring ovulation.

5. Surgical treatment: Surgical treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome is the best choice for female friends. Currently, the main surgical methods for treating PCOS are: laparotomy - ovarian wedge resection, vaginal PCOS surgery, and laparoscopic PCOS surgery.

2. How to regulate high levels of testosterone in women

Don't eat too much sweets. Because excessive intake of sugar in the body can cause mood swings and easily lead to negative effects such as anxiety.

Don't consume too much salt. Food that is too salty is not conducive to the discharge of water from the body and will affect the normal ovulation of the ovaries. In severe cases, it will damage the ovaries and cause irregular menstruation.

Stay away from cold, spicy and other irritating foods. Many girls can't help but drink a lot of cold drinks or ice cream in the hot summer. Women who like spicy food have to mix spicy food with every meal before they can eat happily. Such eating habits will cause qi stagnation, blood stasis, cold and dampness stagnation, and finally lead to irregular menstruation.

Say no to carbonated drinks. Beverages contain a lot of carbonic acid. Frequent drinking will affect the body's absorption of calcium and reduce the digestive ability of the stomach and intestines.

Eat more foods rich in fiber. Fiber foods can help the body eliminate excess estrogen, reduce the risk of tumors caused by excess estrogen, promote gastric motility, and reduce constipation. Such as: vegetables, beans, barley, buckwheat, etc.

Eat more legumes. Why is it always mentioned that women should eat more bean foods? Especially soybeans, which can effectively supplement natural plant hormones into women's bodies, bidirectionally regulate the hormone balance in the body, and play a role in regulating endocrine.

Diet and daily routine during menstruation. If a woman suffers from dysmenorrhea, she can brew 3 slices of ginger with brown sugar water and drink it twice a day. This can relieve dysmenorrhea. During this period, she should not eat cold or spicy food, keep a light diet, have a regular work and rest schedule, and not stay up all night.
