Elevated androgens are mainly seen in ovarian disease, testicular tumors, polycystic ovary syndrome, or adrenocortical disease, and are usually treated with medication or surgery.
1. Ovarian disease: Ovarian tumors or follicular membrane cell hyperplasia may cause 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 needs surgical treatment, congenital adrenocortical hyperplasia can be treated with glucocorticoids, such as dexamethasone, prednisone acetate tablets and so on.
The cause of hyperandrogenism needs to be clarified and correctly treated under the guidance of physicians. Do not blindly use their own medication, the above drugs have a certain risk, found that elevated androgens need to go to the hospital for further diagnosis and treatment.
