The dangers of high androgen in men include causing hair loss, acne, and affecting prostate function.
1. Hair loss: androgen is mainly androstenedione, which can be converted into testosterone and 5α-dihydrotestosterone after metabolism. However, after 5α-dihydrotestosterone binds with androgen receptor on hair follicle cells, it will make hair follicles miniaturize and shorten the growth cycle of hair, thus forming hair loss.
2. Acne: Excessive androgen in men will cause sebaceous glands to enlarge and sebum secretion to increase, and the oil and shedding of dead skin will clog pores, thus forming acne.
3. Impact on prostate function: androgens will stimulate the proliferation of prostate cells, male androgens are too high, easy to cause prostate hyperplasia, and may even cause prostate cancer.
High male androgens have a certain impact on the male body, it is recommended that patients go to the hospital in a timely manner to identify the cause of the disease, and then receive treatment as soon as possible.
