The risks of excessive androgen in females include increased sebum secretion and menstrual irregularities. Excess androgen can affect menstruation and fertility, disrupt ovulation, and lead to symptoms such as menstrual disorders, infrequent periods, or amenorrhea, potentially resulting in infertility. It may also cause facial and scalp symptoms such as papules, acne, nodules, and pustules. In daily life, women can consume more soy milk and soybean milk to help balance estrogen levels in the body.
