Do High Androgens Mean High Testosterone in Women?

Androgens and Testosterone Hormones Are the Same ?? In women If androgen is high then it means testosterone will also be high ??? If androgens are controlled then testosterone will also be controlled. ??? In girls ? Mera 25 % zyda ha testosterone

Dr. Kanchan  Jain

General Physician

Answered on 22nd Jan '25

Androgens, including testosterone, are indeed related hormones, but they are not identical. Elevated androgen levels can indicate higher testosterone levels, but not always. In women, high testosterone might lead to symptoms like irregular periods, acne, or excessive hair growth. Conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can cause this imbalance. Managing androgen levels through lifestyle changes or medical treatment can help regulate testosterone. It's advisable to consult a healthcare professional to assess your situation, get an accurate diagnosis, and explore appropriate treatment options tailored for you.

Female | 43

It looks like a sudden withdrawal of your medication resulted in several extremely uncomfortable problems such as vomiting, confusion, and anxiety. The new physician has prescribed a different set of drugs to you to alleviate the condition, but now you are having sleep issues. It is crucial to neither start nor stop drugs without consulting your doctor. You should give them a call and tell them how you feel.

Hi , My belly has been growing day by day and been losing hair , peeing alot and my lower back is very stiff

Female | 23

You might be experiencing symptoms of diabetes. In diabetes, weight gain can lead to a bigger belly, and hair loss may occur. Frequent urination is common as your body tries to remove excess sugar. Lower back stiffness could be related to kidney issues linked with diabetes. It's important to eat healthy, exercise, and see a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Hi my vitamin d tests came back as 26.3 Can i take vit d3 60000iu capsule weekly once and till how much time i should continue

Male | 39

You have low vitamin D, only 26.3. That's too little­. Low vitamin D causes tiredness, we­ak muscles, and bone pain. Take 60000 IU vitamin D3 capsule­s weekly. Do it for 8 to 12 wee­ks, or how long your doctor says. Get tested again to che­ck if your levels improve. Eat he­althy foods and spend some time in the­ sun to raise vitamin D further.

Mera age 32 hai. Mai thyroid patient hu. Maine test karwaya hai 2 din pehle. Report aa gya hai mera kitna power medicine chalega ye puchna tha

Female | 32

The thyroid is a gland in your neck that can sometimes make too much or too little hormone. Tiredness, gaining weight, and anxiousness are all normal. The test you did helps us know the right amount of medicine you need to balance your hormone levels. When you initiate the prescribed medicine, you should be on the road to recovery soon.

I was wondering if having sugar levels at 109 is high or low

Female | 17

Having sugar levels at 109 is neither too high nor too low. This is normal. You may not have any symptoms at this level. 109 is a healthy range, but it’s good to keep an eye on it. Eating healthy foods and doing exercise regularly can help you to maintain this level. If your sugar levels go too high or too low, you might feel tired, thirsty, or shaky.

Your body may be having trouble dealing with sugar properly. If sugar levels are too high, it can cause tiredness and trouble vision. These are diabetic signs. You should get checked by a medical professional. They will suggest dietary options and probably a medication to control your sugar levels and make you feel better.

I am 30 weeks pregnant with diabetis. I am on 12 unit insulin for lunch and dinner. And 14 unit in the night for next day fasting level. I am not eating anything sweet or rice or potato still my sugar is not in control. I eat only two roti dal and sabji in day and night. In the middle I eat apple and nuts. Only. Can you guide what could be the issue. Should I increase my insulin unit. Sometimes with the same food same unit of insulin it comes normal in range like 110 but most of the time it comes 190. For morning I eat besan or dal chilla or boiled chana.

Female | 33

It is good you are taking care­ of your diabetes with insulin and good food. But, blood sugar can be hard to control during pre­gnancy because of hormone change­s. Eating two rotis with dal and sabji, plus an apple and nuts is a wise choice. Che­ck your blood sugar at different times to se­e how your body reacts to food and insulin. You may nee­d to change your insulin doses with your doctor's help.

Before I share my worries I have to always note that I am a childhood cancer survivor Osteosarcoma I am now 19 and I was diagnosed at 11, I have been free from cancer since 13 years old I have worries of having cushin disease, I show all the symptoms and researched on YouTube by various videos of different doctors speaking of the subject. I gained a lot of weight in such a rapid speed even though I was very skinny, no matter how heathy I eat eating enough protein, cutting gluten and diary out as well as sugar I feel like i keep gaining weight. I have a fat pad at the back of my neck and the fat seems to go to my back and stomach, have awful bruising on my feet sometimes, horrible exhaustion by just lifting my arms and my bones sound like they crack a lot. Alongside many other symptoms like insulin resistance a doctor noticed due to darkening to my neck, but diabetes was ruled out when I went to a doctor and she said she did see many signs of a hormonal issue just by looking at me, referred me to a endocrinologist. I suspected high cortisol because i have dealt with a history of psychological issues such as diagnosed depression. I am suffering and will see this specialist soon, but my general blood lab tests have been “normal” before, I have read out of fear of not being heard by my doctor that lab tests sometimes do not show abnormal cortisol levels if the cortisol is not or condition of it is not too advanced I want to know all the tests that I need done that are necessary to be diagnosed, and what alternatives can I discuss with my doctors if the labs come out “normal” I am aware i need to advocate for myself sometimes I just dont know how to word it because of fear of seeming ignorant and like i know more than my doctor, I dont think this I just want my pain to be over! I think hearing advice from a professional would be best on how i can best approach advocation for my health.

The symptoms you're experiencing could be related to Cushing's disease. It's important to discuss the necessary tests with your doctor to get an accurate diagnosis. These tests include a cortisol urine test, blood cortisol levels, and an MRI to check your pituitary gland. Cortisol levels can fluctuate, so multiple tests at different times may be needed for a definitive diagnosis. Even if initial tests are normal but your doctor suspects Cushing's disease based on your symptoms, further testing and monitoring might be required. Be open and honest with your doctors, ask questions, and express your concerns to ensure you receive the best care.

Aoa shahzadi hussain 23 years old sir merii pregnancy k 3rd month hai aur us main TSH level low aya hai 0.07 aur T3 level up hai 2.77 kindly is k baray main phoochna tha

Female | Shahzadi

A low TSH level and elevated T3 can indicate hyperthyroidism. Symptoms might include fatigue, rapid heartbeat, and mood swings. This condition can arise from several causes, including autoimmune disorders. It's crucial to monitor this situation closely, as thyroid imbalances can affect your pregnancy. I highly recommend discussing these results with your healthcare provider, who can assess your specific situation and suggest appropriate treatments if necessary.

The symptoms you mentioned like you are weak, tingly in your hands and feet, and you are losing hair, which could be due to a problem with the thyroid gland. Thyroid disorders can lead to these symptoms. Seeing a doctor for a blood test to determine your thyroid levels is critical. Treatment can help to control these symptoms and also enhance your general health.

I have tested full body and found testosterone is 356 level, vitamin b12 is in deficiency, iron and other vitamin are also low, i feel tired whole day, streesed. What to do i need help on this and i am fully vegetarian

Male | 24

Low testosterone, vitamin B12, iron, and other vitamin deficiencies are the reasons for you to feel tired and stressed. As a vegetarian, it is essential to include a mix of plant-based foods such as beans, nuts, seeds, and fortified cereals to enhance your nutrient levels. Taking supplements prescribed by a doctor might also be of assistance. Get enough rest and manage stress to feel better.

Female | 37

When the levels of your thyroid are too high or too low, you may experience a lot of discomfort. Signs and symptoms of high levels of thyroid hormone in the bloodstream (hyperthyroidism) can include nervousness, insomnia, and spontaneous weight loss. You will need to collaborate with your doctor to determine the right amount of medication for you. If you think that your levels are off, you must raise this issue with them.

I am a diabetic patient. I am feeling very sleepy and hungry. I am feeling weak. Is my sugar level increasing or decreasing?

Male | 46

When blood sugar levels sink, the body reacts by asking for energy and makes you feel tired, hungry, and weak. As a remedy, you can have a snack that contains carbohydrates, such as fruit or whole-grain crackers. Your sugar level will increase and you will be in a better mood. Diabetes management and regular eating are preventive measures against the occurrence of this problem in the future.

My Thyroid TSH level is 36.80 I want to confirm the medicine and dosage

Female | 31

A TSH level of 36.80 indicates that your thyroid might be malfunctioning. Among its signs and symptoms are getting tired, gaining weight, and always being cold. The so-called hypothyroidism can also be one of the reasons why. Commonly, doctors tend to prescribe drugs based on thyroid hormones such as levothyroxine. The dosage should be calculated by your doctor for your specific needs.
