Scribbled Underline 2

High androgen levels in PCOS can disrupt ovulation and fertility. Let’s explore their impact and how to manage them for better reproductive health.

Androgens, also known as male hormones, are present in both men and women. In excess, they can cause hormonal imbalances in women with PCOS.

What Are Androgens?

High androgen levels lead to symptoms like irregular periods, acne, excessive hair growth (hirsutism), and difficulty in ovulation.

How Androgens Affect PCOS

 Androgens interfere with the development of follicles in the ovaries, preventing the release of eggs and making conception difficult.

Androgens and Ovulation Problems

A balanced diet, regular exercise, weight management, and stress reduction can help regulate androgen levels in women with PCOS.

Ways to Lower Androgen Levels Naturally

Birth control pills, anti-androgen medications like spironolactone, and insulin-sensitizing drugs like metformin can help balance hormones.

Medical Treatments to Reduce Androgens

If ovulation remains irregular, fertility treatments like Clomid, letrozole, IUI, or IVF can help improve the chances of pregnancy.
