Question 6

i have elevated dhea levels (345) and low estrogen, i am 31 years old and do not have any tumors. could birth control help balance this out?

Accepted Answer

If you mean DHEAS: your level is normal. Why are you taking DHEA? It's metabolized to either cortisone, estrogen or testosterone and you can't control which one. Also, most of the DHEA pills don't really have much DHEA in them. You haven't provided enough facts to really tell you anything, Birth control isn't really used to "balance" anything WHy are you on estrogen and also BCP's? Talk w/your doctor,

Question 8

my dr choked my hormones&my testosterone levels are really elevated&the others estrogen is low.dr put me on progesterone 10%cream.seen no difference.?

Accepted Answer

High and low: Female cyclic hormones like Estradiol (estrogen) vary widely in a pattern during a cycle, so it's usually not helpful to call estrogen 'high' or 'low' without regard to when in the cycle it was done. How high was the testosterone? I don't understand what the reason for Progesterone cream to treat (?) testosterone would be, maybe to start a new cycle?
