The causes of high androgen secretion in girls are different, which may be polycystic ovary syndrome, adrenal and ovarian tumors, diseases of the ovaries and adrenal glands themselves, etc. Therefore, the methods of reducing androgen secretion are also different, which are mainly drug treatment and surgical treatment.
1. Polycystic ovary syndrome: the pathogenesis is complex and not yet completely clear, generally mainly symptomatic treatment, acne, hirsutism can be based on dermatological local treatment taking short-acting contraceptives, or antagonistic androgens such as andropause, or through exercise to lose weight and reduce androgen secretion.
2. Tumor of adrenal gland and ovary: tumor stimulation causes excessive secretion of androgen, in this case, according to the specific location, size and nature of the tumor determined by the examination, the specific surgical plan should be arranged.
3. Diseases of ovary itself: such as follicular membrane cell hyperplasia, which will secrete too much androgen, glucocorticoid treatment can be given, and if the symptoms are not relieved, the ovary can be surgically removed.
4. Diseases of the adrenal gland itself: such as congenital adrenocortical hyperplasia, additional glucocorticoids are needed to inhibit androgen secretion.
Girls with high androgen should go to the regular hospital in time, under the guidance of the doctor’s treatment.
