What’s wrong with high testosterone?

Conditions such as tumors, endocrine system diseases, female pregnancy, and drug use can lead to high testosterone. Testosterone, also known as testosterone and testosterone, is an important androgen in men, which has the functions of promoting and maintaining male secondary sexual characteristics, promoting the development and growth of reproductive organs, synthesizing proteins, promoting the growth of bones, and maintaining the functions of prostate and seminal vesicles. The normal value of testosterone in adult male is 9.45-37.45nmol/L, and the normal value of testosterone in adult female is 0.21-3.01nmol/L. If the testosterone in the body is higher than the upper limit of the above range, it is called high testosterone. Tumors such as ovarian tumors, adrenal tumors, and testicular cell tumors can lead to elevated testosterone. Endocrine system disorders such as polycystic ovary syndrome, adrenocortical hyperplasia, hyperadrenocorticism, and male precocious puberty can also cause high testosterone. Physiologic conditions such as mid- to late-term pregnancy in women and obesity in women can also cause elevated testosterone. In addition, overdose of oral androgenic drugs can also lead to high testosterone, which can be improved after stopping the drugs. Clinically, high testosterone can be treated by taking ethinyl estradiol cyproterone tablets. In daily life, you can eat more soy products, which can help to reduce testosterone. If the testosterone level is high for a long time, you should consult a doctor for a clear diagnosis as soon as possible and follow the doctor’s instructions for systematic treatment.
