Avatar f tn I am in my early teens. My period is late by about two days, and it is often quite irregular, but I believe this is due to the immense amount of stress I have been through this past month with school and personal issues. I have been having weird nipple darkening, excess white/clear sticky (and thick) discharge, and I often feel quite sick. To induce my period, however, I have been taking large doses of Vitamin C (3,000mg-4,000mg) for the past week (to help increase estrogen levels).

Avatar f tn So what are the common signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer? To answer this question, researchers from the University of Minnesota in the United States recently reviewed medical records of 107 women diagnosed over a 12-year period to 1997. They published their findings in this month's Mayo Clinic Proceedings.
Avatar m tn There are some hereditary conditions in which males have elevated estradiol levels. Also some endocrine syndromes. MOST of the time, the excess estrogen is produced in excess adipose tissue. Usually estrogen is converted into testosterone, but in some cases, this fails to happen. This is the type of case in which something like Aromasin might help.

Avatar f tn I had a 12 cm cyst on my left ovary removed a couple weeks ago via a laparotomy (major surgery because I waited too long), they also removed my ovary that was ruined by the 'monster'. Trust me, don't wait on this thing too long. I started having pains about 5 months ago and dismissed it initially as an odd period cycle.

Avatar f tn s a source of excess hormone. Also, excess soy in the diet can add too much estrogen to your body. While breast cancer doesn't usually present this way, it would be worth a trip to the doctor if only to ease your mind. Blessings!
Avatar n tn It is not associated with ovarian cancer although a life long exposure to excess estrogen (which occurs in untreated women who do not ovulate regularly) can lead to a build up of the lining of the uterus. In some cases, this excess estrogen stimulation can lead to cancer of the lining of the uterus (endometrial cancer). The treatment is easy, - birth control pills or the addition of progesterone by itself.
Avatar f tn excess estrogen, low progesterone, estrogen dominance, obesity, low folate, liver dysfunction, birth control pill side effects and other. Are you on any birth control? Anything unusual with the blood loss, like darker color, thicker & heavier? What is your age? Is it very painful? Any other symptoms? Did you have a hormonal panel in the past? Looking forward to your reply. Best wishes.
Avatar f tn High levels of estrogen cause unexplained weight gain and feeling fatigued or lethargic. Low thyroid hormone is a consideration since there is family history of thyroid disease but high estrogen is a more likely cause in my opinion. A good article on high estrogen is "High Estrogen Overload Symptoms. Dangers Every Woman Should Be Aware Of" from the Healthy You Naturally website. An excerpt....
Avatar f tn I'm sorry to hear that after 8 years it is coming back, and in the least favorite area I'm sure. I just had a laparotomy during which they removed my left ovary, large chocolate cyst, and 'lots' of endometrioma 'everywhere' according to doc. However, I was told that they had to leave a bit around my rectal area so I'm worried I might have the same kind of problem in the future.
427265 tn?1444076436 * If the female hormone estrogen is not broken down efficiently, this can lead to excessive levels of estrogen in the body. Excess estrogen can cause breast pain and lumpiness, heavy painful menstrual bleeding and weight gain around the hips, buttocks and thighs. This is very frustrating for women who are pear shaped as they may develop cellulite around the hips and thighs.
Avatar f tn There are other types of ovarian cancer that are hormone driven and depending which form a person has there will be excess symptoms of that specific hormone. This is the type my wife was Dx with granulosa cell ca(estrogen). These group type are called sex cord -stromal tumors. These type of tumors have specific markes that the Dr's use just like ca-125 to aide in their dx of epitheal ovarian ca. They are Inhibin A&B and MIS.
Avatar m tn i show no symptoms currently of major excess estrogen i will be getting a blood test soon, and re-tell my doc about my past situation. i have not used test ethernate since then, i can still grow facial hair and the like so it's not like my axis is shut down. now. i have noticed (never really noticed much before) slightly smaller balls but I am not certain, they used to be larger than a large grape, now it's maybe like 10 percent less of that I think, the size of a medium grape.
Avatar f tn Symptoms: Unexplained Weight gain, Fatigue, Depression, Joint and back pain, Weakness, Dry skin and overall don't feel well. T3, TOTAL 425 ng/dL Reference 97 - 169 ng/dL C-REACTIVE PROTEIN 38.5 mg/L Reference <=10.0 mg/L VITAMIN D, 25 OH, TOTAL 19.
Avatar f tn The other symptoms that you mention are probably unrelated to each other unless you are overweight--a hormone imbalance with excess estrogen could cause similar problems. Hope this helps!
Avatar f tn I had a bit of a slow thyroid and this excess estrogen production. Mine self regulated but I would at this point consult your doctor about it.
Avatar n tn so i stopped takin the estrogen for a few days now to get rid of some of the excess estrogen the gel gave me!
Avatar f tn Hmm, breast tenderness is usually a side effect of estrogen excess - but I thought shots were mostly progesterone, like Depo Provera? Which shot are you on?
Avatar n tn However, a small group of patients present with symptoms of androgen excess from the tumor. Changes caused by androgen excess may be permanent or may only partially regress over time. Serious estrogen effects can occur in various end organs. Unopposed estrogen production by these tumors has been shown to cause stimulation of the endometrium. Anywhere from 30-50% of patients develop endometrial hyperplasia and another 8-33% have endometrial adenocarcinoma.
Avatar f tn Is this the only time this has happened? It could be that you were ovulating. You may have a bacterial infection if it was'nt ovulation. Are you having any other symptoms?
1139187 tn?1355706647 With men, the issue of concern is testosterone deficiency, while with women the concern is excess testosterone production. A total testosterone may be ordered prior to or along with a SHBG test. In women, small amounts of testosterone are produced by the ovaries and adrenal glands. Even slight increases in testosterone production can disrupt the balance of hormones and cause symptoms such as lack of menstruation (amenorrhea), infertility, acne, and male pattern hair growth (hirsutism).
