Female with high testosterone levels, its ruining my life. Will estrogen pills and a diet help me?
You are so confused. You need to go see an Endocrinologist (it is a Dr who deals with hormones) who can give you the hormones you need and knows how to lower the ones you have too much of. Too much estrogen will make your breasts so tender you won't be able to stand to touch them so you don't want to start self medicating. Some gynocologists know how to treat women who need hormone therapy. You may haveyour DHEA too low or too high. They have a way of checking your DHEA and it can be bought OTC. I know if yours is too high it will cause too much hair on a woman. Mine was too low and I have to take it daily. Call a gyno and ask them if they treat hormone imbalances. If one says no, keep trying until you find one who does and if you have a Dr ask him/her to refer you to an endocrinologist (but there are so few of them if you can find a gyno who treats hormonal imbalances go see them) DO NOT self medicate, you will make things worse.
