Causes of Androgen Excess in Women. If you suffer hair loss, facial hair (hirsutism), or acne, then you know all about androgen excess. Androgen means “male- hormone”, and your doctor may have gone so far as to test you for testosterone and. What else can you do about it? Birth control with “high androgen index”The simplest and most preventable cause of androgen excess is hormonal birth control. Some (not all) types of birth control use. They are androgenic and promote hair loss, and this effect is well known? Read the label. Progestins with a high androgen index include. Choose a less androgenic progestin, or even better: Choose a non- hormonal method such as Fertility Awareness Method, condoms, or copper IUD. Once you stop the progestin, your androgen symptoms should subside, but. This is the diagnosis when there are high androgen symptoms but normal levels of androgens. When hair loss is the main symptom, androgen hypersensitivity is called. You can estimate how much androgen is coming from your adrenal glands by measuring a hormone called dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA- S) on a blood test. If only DHEA- S is elevated, but testosterone and. Interestingly, low- dose hydrocortisone was also. Predominantly adrenal- androgen PCOS is quite a different condition. It is driven by factors that affect the adrenal glands, such as stress. I truly hope that PCOS’s upcoming. I strongly suspect that endocrine. This is probably the type of PCOS that responded to the low- dose cortisone historically prescribed for PCOS. Adrenal- androgen PCOS also responds to stress- reduction, and to hypothalamic- pituitary- adrenal (HPA) regulating supplements such as magnesium, phosphatidylserine, and Rhodiola. Adrenal- androgen PCOS may also. For a full discussion of adrenal- androgen PCOS, please see Fiona Mc. Culloch. The key defining feature of PCOS is ovulatory dysfunction, and the over- production of testosterone and androstenedione. You would be forgiven then for thinking the small multiple follicles cause the condition, but they don’t. Any woman can have polycystic ovaries on occasion, including. Don’t be misdiagnosed by an ultrasound. See the Surprising Truth About PCOS. Is PCOS. That is a depressing thought because it might mean you were born with the condition. It doesn’t work like that. A genetic tendency does not mean you will always suffer the symptoms. You can modify your genetic expression with diet, lifestyle. That usually means quitting sugar, and using insulin- sensitising supplements such as myo- inositol, magnesium, and berberine. Exercise and the diabetic drug metformin are also helpful. Non- insulin- resistant types of PCOS can benefit from the androgen- reducing herbal formula. Thyroid Patterns That Won't Show Up On Standard Lab Tests. This article is part of a special report on Thyroid Disorders. To see the other articles in this series. If the diagnosis isn’t correct, the treatment will be ineffective – or even cause harm. Unfortunately misdiagnosis is common in the management of hypothyroidism. If you go to a doctor with hypothyroid symptoms, you’ll simply be given replacement hormones without any further inquiry into the cause of your condition. Even worse, if you have hypothyroid symptoms but your lab tests are normal, you’ll be told you’re “fine”. If you insist you’re not, you might be sent home with an antidepressant, but no further clue about the cause of your symptoms. The problem with this approach is that thyroid physiology is complex. The production, conversion and uptake of thyroid hormone in the body involves several steps. A malfunction in any of these steps can cause hypothyroid symptoms, but may not show up on standard lab tests. It’s incorrect and even negligent to assume that all cases of hypothyroidism share the same cause and require the same treatment. Yet that’s exactly what the standard of care for hypothyroidism delivers. In this article I’ll present five patterns of thyroid dysfunction that won’t show up on standard lab tests. If you have one of these patterns, your thyroid isn’t functioning properly and you will have symptoms. But if you go to your conventional doctor, you’ll be told there’s nothing wrong with your thyroid. A standard thyroid panel usually includes TSH and T4 only. The ranges for these markers vary from lab to lab, which is one of two main problems with standard lab ranges. The other problem is that lab ranges are not based on research that tells us what a healthy range might be, but on a bell curve of values obtained from people who come to the labs for testing. Now, follow me on this. Who goes to labs to get tested? If a lab creates its “normal” range based on test results from sick people, is that really a normal range? Does that tell us anything about what the range should be for health? Bryan Walsh)The five thyroid patterns. Hypothyroidism caused by pituitary dysfunction. This pattern is caused by elevated cortisol, which is in turn caused by active infection, blood sugar imbalances, chronic stress, pregnancy, hypoglycemia or insulin resistance. These stressors fatigue the pituitary gland at the base of the brain so that it can no longer signal the thyroid to release enough thyroid hormone. There may be nothing wrong with the thyroid gland itself. The pituitary isn’t sending it the right messages. With this pattern, you’ll have hypothyroid symptoms and a TSH below the functional range (1. The T4 will be low in the functional range (and possibly the lab range too). Under- conversion of T4 to T3. T4 is the inactive form of thyroid hormone. It must be converted to T3 before the body can use it. More than 9. 0% of thyroid hormone produced is T4. This common pattern is caused by inflammation and elevated cortisol levels. T4 to T3 conversion happens in cell membranes. Inflammatory cytokines damage cell membranes and impair the body’s ability to convert T4 to T3. High cortisol also suppresses the conversion of T4 to T3. With this pattern you’ll have hypothyroid symptoms, but your TSH and T4 will be normal. If you have your T3 tested, which it rarely is in conventional settings, it will be low. Hypothyroidism caused by elevated TBGThyroid binding globulin (TBG) is the protein that transports thyroid hormone through the blood. When thyroid hormone is bound to TBG, it is inactive and unavailable to the tissues. When TBG levels are high, levels of unbound (free) thyroid hormone will be low, leading to hypothyroid symptoms. With this pattern, TSH and T4 will be normal. If tested, T3 will be low, and T3 uptake and TBG will be high. Elevated TBG is caused by high estrogen levels, which are often often associated with birth control pills or estrogen replacement (i. Premarin or estrogen creams). To treat this pattern, excess estrogen must be cleared from the body. Hypothyroidism caused by decreased TBGThis is the mirror image of the pattern above. When TBG levels are low, levels of free thyroid hormone will be high. You might think this would cause hyperthyroid symptoms. But too much free thyroid hormone in the bloodstream causes the cells to develop resistance to it. So, even though there’s more than enough thyroid hormone, the cells can’t use it and you’ll have hypothyroid – not hyperthyroid – symptoms. With this pattern, TSH and T4 will be normal. If tested, T3 will be high, and T3 uptake and TBG will be low. Decreased TBG is caused by high testosterone levels. In women, it is commonly associated with PCOS and insulin resistance. Reversing insulin resistance and restoring blood sugar balance is the key to treating this pattern. Thyroid resistance. In this pattern, both the thyroid and pituitary glands are functioning normally, but the hormones aren’t getting into the cells where they’re needed. This causes hypothyroid symptoms. Note that all lab test markers will be normal in this pattern, because we don’t have a way to test the function of cellular receptors directly. Thyroid resistance is usually caused by chronic stress and high cortisol levels. It can also be caused by high homocysteine and genetic factors. Conclusion. The five patterns above are only a partial list. Several others also cause hypothyroid symptoms and don’t show up on standard lab tests. If you have hypothyroid symptoms, but your lab tests are normal, it’s likely you have one of them. Not only do these patterns fail to show up on standard lab work, they don’t respond well to conventional thyroid hormone replacement. If your body can’t convert T4 to T3, or you have too much thyroid binding protein, or your cells are resistant, it doesn’t matter how much T4 you take; you won’t be able to use it. Unfortunately, if you have one of these patterns and tell your doctor your medication isn’t working, all too often the doctor’s response is to simply increase the dose. When that doesn’t work, the doctor increases it yet again. As I said at the beginning of this article, the key to a successful treatment is an accurate diagnosis. The reason the conventional approach fails is that it skips this step and gives the same treatment to everyone, regardless of the cause of their problem. The good news is that, once the correct diagnosis is made, patients respond very well to treatment. Like what you’ve read? Sign up for FREE updates delivered to your inbox. I hate spam too.
