I was diagnosed with pcos after an untreated pelvic inflammation?

I was diagnosed with pcos after an untreated pelvic inflammation(left ovary and fallopian tube). No symptoms of pcos before the inflammation and I’m 39. I believe it triggered it. I have hair loss and my left ovary is polycystic. The right one is in good shape. I got Spiro 3 months ago. It has dropped all of my testosteron level to the lower half of the normal level but my andostenidone almost doubled on the medication. Is that something Spiro do or it isn’t normal to see this? Thank you

of androgens – testosterone in particular. Less testosterone will result in greater levels of andostenidone.

As Andostenidone is androgenic precursor its level can rise if the levels of testosterone fall too low.. However the levels of Andostenidone can also rise in some other conditions associated with adrenal galnd so once you should consult your Gynaecologist or an Endocrinologist and get yourself checked..… Read more »
