Ovarian dysfunction: androgen excess - what does this mean
Ovarian dysfunction and androgen excess occur when the ovaries produce too much androgen, a male hormone. this can be caused by a variety of factors, such as polycystic ovarian syndrome, tumors, or an underlying medical condition. symptoms of androgen excess include irregular periods, acne, excessive hair growth, and infertility. treatment for androgen excess may include lifestyle changes, medication, or surgery.
What happens during the disease - ovarian dysfunction: androgen excess
The pathogenesis of ovarian dysfunction due to androgen excess is likely to be caused by an imbalance of hormones in the body. when androgens (male hormones) are present in excessive amounts, they can interfere with the production of follicle-stimulating hormone (fsh) and luteinizing hormone (lh) from the pituitary gland, which are necessary for normal ovarian function. this disruption in hormone levels can lead to the development of ovarian dysfunction, including irregular or absent menstrual cycles, infertility, and other symptoms.
