A member asked:
Is androgens the same as adrenal hormones? what does it mean to have elevated adrenal hormones? does it have any problems to do with the ovaries?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Adrenals: Androgens are testosterone and dhea. Adrenal hormones are cortisol and dhea. If your adrenal hormones are high that is usually related to some sort of stress. This is not related to the ovaries. The adrenals are a separate organ.
