Can high dhea sulfate level (599 mcg/dl) be caused by no reason at all and go down on its own? missed period, but got it again 3 months later?

High DHEA: Women with high dhea levels often have pcos which is a condition that can cause irregular period. Pcos is a condition that is still poorly understood. Not all women with pcos have polycystic ovaries which is one of the reasons why the name of this condition will be undergoing some changes in the future.
