Excessive secretion of sex hormones can affect reproductive function and lead to a series of pathological conditions such as sleep disturbances and mood disorders. It may result in reduced menstrual flow, lack of ovulation during the ovulatory phase, and a tendency to impair fertility. In addition, excess androgens in women can cause hirsutism, thickened pores, and acne. Some women may also develop seborrheic dermatitis and hair loss due to elevated androgen levels.
