The method of lowering androgens needs to be determined by the cause of the elevated androgens. Elevated androgens are mainly seen in ovarian disease, testicular tumors, polycystic ovary syndrome, or adrenocortical disease, and are usually treated with glucocorticoids, medications such as oral contraceptives, or surgery.
1. Ovarian disease: Ovarian tumors or follicular membranous cell hyperplasia, among other causes, may lead to elevated androgens, and are usually treated by surgical removal of the tumor or hyperplasia.
2. Testicular tumors: Testicular tumors lead to elevated androgens and are mainly removed surgically.
3. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): it is an endocrine disease, and elevated androgens can be seen. Androgen can be reduced by dexamethasone, prednisone acetate tablets, spironolactone, cyproterone acetate and other drugs.
4. Adrenocortical diseases: adrenocortical tumors or congenital adrenocortical hyperplasia may lead to androgen elevation, adrenocortical cancer generally requires surgical treatment, congenital adrenocortical hyperplasia can be treated with glucocorticoids, such as dexamethasone, prednisone acetate tablets and so on.
Androgen exuberance needs to clarify the cause of the disease and be treated correctly under the guidance of physicians. Do not blindly use their own medication, the above drugs have a certain risk, found that elevated androgen need to go to the hospital for further diagnosis and treatment.
