Testosterone for women weight loss

Common Questions and Answers about Testosterone for women weight loss

androgel

I suggest u get ur testosterone checked. The #1 symptom is hair loss in women and hair growth in other unexpected places. I have really high testosterone I'm trying to lower, it has been making me lose a lot of hair and I'm only 29. I have high testosterone from PCOS. MAKE SURE UR DOCS LOOK INTO THAT. I started intense cardio, eating foods with little carbs and low sugar, and drinking spearmint tea. Also thinking about colon hydrotherapy.

There have been a number of studies looking at testosterone levels in men AND women with MS. First, the men. A recent study has shown that men with MS have low-normal or low testosterone levels compared to men without MS. It is also noted that men have an older average age of onset of MS (in general) and at about the time when testosterone levels begin to drop naturally. A study at UCLA is just finishing looking at this looked at 10 men with RRMS who were not on Disease Modifying Drugs.

Is there any way medication which people with pcos can take to help them with weight loss? What i have read suggests that the only way to control it is through diet and exercise. I'm asking because my friend who has recently been told that it is likely she may have PCOS goes running for an hour a day and never eats heavily but still manages to put on weight easily. e.g last week she put on over a stone despite exercising and eating well everyday.

anyway i was wondering if anybody has gone through this or even if anybody has some weight-loss advice, i would really appriciate it.

OMG how do you get rid of it????? Can you????? What about weight loss, is it hopeless. I barely had any hormones or none, and trying to find a good Doctor that deals with ADRENAL INSUFFIENCY AND WOMENS HORMONES. It took me 8 Doctors to find one and now we moved to Tucson, AZ and I cant find anyone who does BIO - HORMONES and ADRENAL INSUFFENCY WITH WEIGHT GAIN AND HUMPS . Someone having the same problems.

Typically, 9 lbs in a month is a safe weight loss without the use of medications. Perhaps (not knowing your dietary intake) reducing or eliminating salt, and increasing your physical activity will also enhance your weight loss. With increased physical activity comes lean muscle growth. The use of muscle takes energy, which your body will provide by releasing nutrients from fat cells. Thus, increasing overall health. Keep up the good work.

That would make sense because testosterone promotes weight loss and muscle gain, but as a women, isn't it a dumb idea to do that? it's like steroids, and I dont want to get a deep voice, hair, and lose my chest? Am I crazy about this or can someone explain. Because I know testosterone isn't good for us women too much.

But I am motivated and hCG SlimXpress, Tacoma weight loss program with the rapid weight loss benefit using hCG injections is exactly what I need: rapid weight loss for motivation, and seeing a slimmer me will help re-program my old eating habits. Come back every day and I will keep you posted, Jenny.

Yesterday I went to his office and he reviewed the results carefully. Luckily, I do not have PCOS. The blood work only revealed high levels of testosterone (although still within the normal range). I have noticed that my libido is usually pretty high. That does not bother me, quite the opposite :). My main problem is facial hair (upper lip, sideburns, and some chin), as well as increased body hair. I know that without it I would be a happier person.

I changed many Endo at last , the current endo asked me to do more test, which are hormone test, results are below Dec 08 Total Testosterone =235 (241-827) Free Testosterone = 59 (52-99) LH 3.5 (1.5-9.3) FSH 1.6 (1.2-18.1) Prolactin 24 TSH 1.27 (.6-3.5) FT4 1.37 (0.6-1.8) My Endo wanted to MRI to make sure there is no prolactinoma, in MRI it came back with 6mm adenoma . She thinks my testosterone level is low because of high prolactin although it is not significantly high.

I've been reading those threads related to the hCG shots for weight loss subject, and I suspect that once again (as it happened in 1974) the method will be misused by all those who only wish to grab a commercial profit from its use. Please let me remind you again, and again, and again, that hCG is a PRESCRIPTION drug that MUST be dispensed by a licensed Physician. hCG injections are PART of a comprehensive weight reduction program.

Please let me know if u have figured it out. Or anyone if u have any idea. I thought It was originally loss of testosterone but I had it checked and while they did the lab work i was on testim which didn't do a thing.

Bioidentical hormone pellets (testosterone for men, both testosterone and estrogen avail. for women) injected under the skin produce steady, continuous release of hormone. Usually lasts 3-6 months depending on person. Again, limited doc's available, but might be helpful for some of you. Good luck.

could it have any thing to do w rapid weight loss?,it feels like a hormrone inbalance, is there any over the counter remedies to balance out female hormones?

So the other women on this forum don't think I am totally crazy to not have a TAHBSO, I want to add a little about what I have learned about these types of tumors. I am not in the medical profession, so please don't take my word for this. All through this experience, I have done extensive research (expecially pre surgery). Searching such key words as "testosterone, ovarian tumor, women" on pub med and looking through medical books, etc.

I started taking Metformin and experienced a dramatic weight loss. The weight loss did not diminish the excess hair. I had ingrown hair and blemishes all over my face and neck. I had painful inlammed pimples. I finally took the pluge and had laser hair removal on my face and neck. Everyone should know that laser hair removal is not really permanent and that if you stop the treatment the hair will grow back (in my case anyway).

There are a lot of websites that can help you calculate your specific calorie needs for weight loss (I used Spark People to figure out mine)

I have been to many forums and blogs which sent me on a quest for the original book on hcg used for weight loss. Has anyone out there read the original diet info??? The doctor is so very specific about dosage and calories??????? I keep reading about 00-600-800 calories and it is spelled out that you have to stick to a specific amount!! not only that they have to be taken in specific quantities protein, fruits and vegis,,,,,,, NO STARCH!!!!!!

I have no desire to have sex, I feel less interest in my work, I'm just tired all the time and feeling low. With what I've been reading tonight on other sites is that hormone replacement therapy (HRT)(testosterone) may be helpful with these types of symptoms. I'm going to call my doctor tomorrow, but for those of you who are wondering what effects you may get, I for one am experiencing a loss in my sex life - that was once very strong. So... I know something's up.

The more I researched about the possibility of weight loss and HCV treatment meds, I knew it would be the kind of weight loss I did not want if it happened to me. So far, I am not responding to the meds as well (virologically) as I would like- but I still have the sides. As we all know - a lot of sides will happen no matter what. Try a Google search on amino acid Glutamine (L-Glutamine).

Now I can finally concentrate on the weight loss. The question I have is has anyone heard of a woman who has had a complete hysterectomy, lose weight with HCG? I have recently started the HCG diet.

I am an otherwise very healthy 38 year old woman who recently had blood work done due to hair loss, uncontrollable and somewhat frequent aggressive angry behavior, weight gain and continual spotting. My progesterone and estrogen were a little off but my testosterone was 294. I had an ultrasound and there were no ovarian cysts. I am going in about an hour for a MRI to check my adrenal glands. Here's my question-why am I so dizzy??? I have studied all of the side effects of high test.

Anticonvulsants tend to cause hyperinsulinemia (elevated insulin in the blood) and increased appetite leading to weight gain. Hyperinsulinemia also results in increased testosterone, which causes a risk to women on these medications for development of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (POS). Polycystic ovary syndrome can cause weight gain, male pattern baldness, increased facial hair, skin tags, acne, infertility, high blood pressure, abnormal lipid levels, and heart disease.

What are your thoughts/personal experience on this? 8) Any further input on the elevated heat intolernce, weight gain, and the hair loss? I know you said 2 out of the 3 sounds hypo, but how will taking thyroid meds (again) affect my heat intolerance? It was quite intolerable on the thyroid meds, unfortunately, and I worry it will return. I so appreciate your thorough input! This has been the most help I have received anywhere, including from the many specialists I have seen!

I am a 43 yr old. women who has always exercised and has always had to watch my weight. Over the years I've successfully stayed at a healthy weight by following a low-calorie (sometimes low carb) way of eating and have always exercised. In the last year and 1/2, I have gained 25 lbs. (15 in the last 6 months) while continuing to diet and exercise the entire time (I have changed nothing and in fact have increased my exercise). This rapid unexplained weight gain has me going crazy.

He is not on medication, his testosterone level is well within normal ranges, his doctor cannot find anything physically wrong with him and he is 26 years old. He has repeatedly said that it is not due to a lack of attraction but I recently found out that he looks at porn. Also, there have been problems with trust in our relationship since I found out he was lying to me about various issues. There has been no infidelity as far as I know.

Pelvic organ prolapse is an extremely common female health issue that half of women over the age of 50 will experience; many younger women in their 30’s and 40’s have POP as well. Symptoms like urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, urine retention, abdominal pain, back pain, vaginal or rectal pressure, constipation, and painful intercourse are aspects of POP that women frequently experience.

Symptoms are extremely high IGE levels, high cortisol levels, inflammation in the lymphnodes throughout the immune system (seen on thermography scan) which result in painful bodily aches, extremely low thyroid, adrenal gland fatigue, anxiety, nausea for months, 20 lb. weight loss in a few months and still dropping..

However, the most common casue of hair loss is stress. Other medical things to test would be testosterone, DHEA, blood counts, iron (ferritin) stores and a good dermatology evaluation -- especially if there are patches of hair loss, not just generalized hair thinning.
