Among the six sex hormones, only testosterone is high

For some women, if there are some abnormalities in some aspects of the body, they need to go to the hospital for some examinations. Some women have done six sex hormone tests and found that among these indicators, only testosterone is much higher, and the other values ​​are slightly lower. What is the reason for this situation? Let’s take a look at what to do if testosterone is the only one among the six sex hormones that is much higher.

What should I do if only testosterone is much higher among the six sex hormones?

Treatment is based on drugs, surgery and traditional Chinese medicine.

Drug treatment: Patients with high testosterone can choose drug treatment, the purpose is to inhibit the production of androgen or anti-androgen, control weight and remove excess hair. High testosterone is mainly treated with Diane 35. The drug can counteract the effects of androgens and promote ovulation. It is usually taken for about 3-6 months. The medication should start from the first day of menstruation, the cycle is 21 days, and then the medication should be stopped. During the treatment period, six growth hormone tests should be carried out regularly. After the six growth hormone tests, if the condition recovers, the medication can be stopped. Women with cystic ovary syndrome and other diseases can take metformin tablets. Generally, metformin should be taken with the first meal. Metformin controls unnecessary sugar absorption during meals to prevent weight gain. Taking Diane 35 after meals can effectively reduce testosterone levels.

Surgical treatment: If the effect of medication is poor and the reduction of male hormones is not obvious, laparoscopic surgical treatment should be considered. Under laparoscopic surgery, the eggs are punctured to reduce the level of male hormones, thus achieving the therapeutic purpose. Patients who are already pregnant and have no plans to get pregnant again can undergo removal surgery. Patients who are expecting to become pregnant can undergo laparoscopic surgery to remove polycystic ovaries using electrocautery or laser to reduce the male hormone content.

Testosterone is the main hormone that maintains male sexual characteristics, but women's ovaries and adrenaline can also produce small amounts of androgen. When a woman's testosterone level is too high, it seriously damages her ovaries, affects the formation of eggs, and ultimately causes female infertility. Too high testosterone levels will have a certain impact on pregnancy, but after treatment, most women can get pregnant naturally.

What to do if testosterone is high

For patients with high testosterone, medication can be used for treatment, mainly to inhibit androgen production or anti-androgen, as well as to control weight. The drug can promote ovulation and is usually taken for about three to six months.

Traditional Chinese medicine treatment adjusts female hormones, repairs ovaries, and promotes ovulation according to traditional Chinese medicine methods. Testosterone exists in a small amount in women's uterus, ovaries and adrenaline. If the testosterone level is too high, it will damage women's ovaries, causing female infertility and affecting pregnancy. After treatment, pregnancy can be achieved naturally. Under normal circumstances, the testosterone in women's blood cells is stable within a certain range. If it exceeds the standard value, it indicates the possibility of disease. During the follicular phase of a normal menstrual cycle, the average blood testosterone concentration is 0.43 ng/ml, with an upper limit of 0.68 ng/ml. If it exceeds 0.7 ng/ml (equivalent to 2.44 nmol/L), it is called hypertestosteronuria, or hyperandrogenuria.
