Androstenedione works by maintaining the original properties of androgens and also by expressing the estrogenic properties of testosterone, which is a sex hormone secreted mainly by the male gonads, thereby maintaining male gonadal characteristics and promoting the development of sexual organs, and is produced by the adrenal glands and secreted in small amounts by the ovaries. Significantly elevated levels in women can lead to masculinization, hirsutism, coarse hair, acne, and polycystic ovary syndrome, causing endocrine disorders in the body, which have a greater impact on women during conception, making it less likely to ovulate and causing infertility. It is recommended to go to the hospital early for sex hormone testing and, depending on the specific situation, take birth control pills as well as steroids for treatment.
