The manifestations of excessive androgen secretion in women mainly include hirsutism, acne, menstrual abnormalities, increased urination, etc. However, due to individualized differences, the specific manifestations will be different.
1. Hairiness: excessive secretion of androgens in female patients will stimulate the growth of hair follicles, resulting in an increase in the number of hairs in the underarms, limbs, face and other parts of the body.
2. Acne: Excessive secretion of androgen will lead to exuberant secretion of oil, acne and enlarged pores.
3. Abnormal menstruation: Excessive androgens in the blood lead to endocrine imbalance in the body, causing patients to experience menstrual abnormalities such as decreased menstruation and menstrual closure.
4. Increased urination: Excessive secretion of androgens also affects the metabolism of the body, which reduces the amount of urine excreted by the patient.
Women with high androgens should first identify the cause of elevated androgens, which may be due to polycystic ovary syndrome, Cushing’s disease and other diseases, which need to be treated according to the cause of the symptoms, and if necessary, medication or surgical treatment. Female patients are advised to go to regular hospitals in time when they find abnormalities in androgen secretion.
