Dr. Bai Hongmei
Excess androgens can cause the body to produce more hair, making it longer. Additionally, they may lead to irregular ovulation and infertility. Therefore, high androgen levels in women are undesirable. If symptoms of elevated androgens occur, prompt medical consultation is necessary. It is recommended to first take prescribed medications as directed by a doctor, and also adjust the diet by moderately increasing intake of foods rich in phytoestrogens.
