The level can be high in androgen resistance, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, ovarian cancer, prolactin secreting tumors and polycystic ovary disease. You need to consult an endocrine specialist to rule out these problems. Treatment can be laser removal, hormone therapy and local creams. Hope this helps. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage.
Avatar f tn It is also important to realise that we cannot say definitely who will be affected by radiation, but the risk is relatively greater in younger individuals, partucularly females and the region of the body that is being imaged. It is also possible that some of the scans have utilised a low radiation protocol which can help reduce the dose, but this is only possible with certain clinical indications.

Very severe cases may need excision and drainage. Also the treatment has to be taken for a long time so that relapses do not occur. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.

Avatar f tn Insulin is a hormone that controls the change of sugar, starches, and other food into energy for the body to use or store. Many women with PCOS have too much insulin in their bodies because they have problems using it. The ovaries, where a woman’s eggs are produced, have tiny fluid-filled sacs called follicles or cysts. As the egg grows, the follicle builds up fluid.

Avatar n tn It is pretty common in Mediterranean cultures for females to have more hair than females of other cultures. On some days, I can deal with the fact that I have Hirsutism, on other days, I feel really depressed and alone. A few weeks ago I gathered the courage to go to my PCP and tell him about my condition. He automatically sent me to the lab for blood work. He said the tests would be extensive. Yesterday I went to his office and he reviewed the results carefully. Luckily, I do not have PCOS.
5274485 tn?1385860167 I'm speaking of the fact that being Autistic in girls may show itself much differently than for males. Autism is a complex condition, and more observation is needed, because somehow, Autism in girls is not well-known as of right now. There ARE plenty of girls and women that have Autism, you know? I happen to actually know one: she goes under the name Joanne.
Avatar n tn I’m open to anywhere between 1991-1993, but I’m hoping for 1991) *mild mannered, averagely intelligent sweetheart (Ok if not mild mannered, an averagely intelligent kind person) Dave this is my new list of everything that I want in a woman.

Avatar f tn The vagina is pretty much like a dead-end street for the semen, though the sperm (which are much, much smaller) will swim up into the cervix and the uterus and the tubes. However, the gush of semen is mostly the bus that takes the sperm to the cervix, where it is left behind as they swim from there. That means that when the woman stands up, or sneezes, or pees, the vagina will push out the semen.
Avatar n tn A few questions....1. Where do genital warts most commonly appear in females? I know it is possible, but is the mons pubis a common area for them to come up? I have white little patches of skin I just noticed recently there. Also 2. Are genital warts able to be seen even if skin is flat? The only time I can really see these bumps is if I pinch the skin together. All they really look like are white patches of skin. 3. How do genital warts feel to touch?
Avatar f tn I think its all funny, people getting upset about things, but were all hormonal and sometimes can't control our feelings. That's pregnancy!
Avatar n tn Dermatologists have found the most effective topical prescription gel to be Differin especially when used in conjunction with oral antibiotics or an anti-androgen contraceptive pill like Diane35 (females only). Also check out our Acne forum.
Avatar m tn i am a guy. but i there's a small lump in my right areola(??) sometimes it's painful when touch. do men get breast cancer? ... will the lump eventually disappear or need to be surgically removed. i appreciate any professional opinions.
Avatar n tn Hi. Oral antibiotics are widely prescribed for acne. It is unlikely this medicine has damaged your liver, but ask your doctor for a liver function test if you are concerned. Alternative treatments include topical retinoids such as Differin, topical antibiotics such as Duac, or oral tetracyclines such as Oxytetracycline. Discuss these with your doctor. You don't state your gender, but female acne patients will benefit from taking an anti-androgen contraceptive pill such as Yasmin or Diane35.

Avatar m tn Fast forward to now... I have experienced lactation (no tumors, no blood in milk, and Prolactin level was only 4 NG/ML) and chronic infections (shingles, UTIs, and yeast infections). I went to a dermatologist for severe acne and melasma on my face (dark discoloration on cheeks and forehead). My blood work results showed elevated testosterone(53 H total and 6.6 H free), elevated ANDROSTENEDIONE (260 NG/DL), low RBC 3.63 L), and SQUAMOUS EPI CELLS (6-10 H). Insulin was 3.

Avatar m tn ve been off the t3 since wednesday and i have cut my patches in half (dr approved). I feel much better. It was just too much for me. Maybe I can work my way up to one patch. It will be interesting to see if I gain weight now that I'm off t3. That would be wonderful! I may move back to oregon. It depends on work factors. Thank you for being a life line. I wish I could do something to return the favor.
Avatar m tn I have had a hormonal imbalance for 2 years (producing too much androgen) and in that time I had gained quite a bit of weight. I am now taking Ortho Tri-Cyclen and have actually begun to FINALLY start losing weight. My weight loss is not much yet, but I was wondering if taking these birth control pills is actually the reason for my weight loss?

1438412 tn?1315507919 My heart goes out to you. I've just come out of a long depression and thank God for releasing me from my paraylyzing, hopeless state. The pain of loosing your husband has to be hard and I pray for your healing. I also lost my soulmate years ago and wondered why the Lord didn't take me too as I was in such pain. It has been 12 years and time does heal but I still miss him and feel very fortunate that I had him in my life for the time I did and all the beautiful memories I have.
Avatar f tn Im sorry. I really dont know what to say :( . The only advice i have is get your education and a job and get out on your own. In the meantime you just have to put up with it. I always tell my kids, "if you hate it so much here, get out and get your own place." I wish you luck and i hope things get better for you. Things could be worse. I always tell myself that and my kids.
